Half the refund from an agency — the full amount with us
Anton P. · Work & Travel participant, two summers
Situation His first summer, he used an agency and received only half of his taxes, six months later.
What we did The next season he filed with Tax From US: answered the questions online, then signed and sent his forms.
Result The full refund arrived in about two months, for a $60 fee.
“It's all simple: answer the questions, sign, send — two months later the deposit was in my account.” (translated)
