Thanks!

IBM Researcher's J1 visa program DOES NOT have a trainee/internship sponsorship category. So my understand is that my J1 visa category is short-term researcher, as indicated in the DS-2019 form.

The problem now is that IBM Research is a commercial company, which makes me not qualify for the tax exemption. Right?

The income for the 4-month at IBM Research in New York would be around $36,000. Could you please kindly give me a rough idea about how much will be deducted? This is my first visit to US and I don't know at all about the US tax.

Thanks again!
