According to Vienna Convention 1961, 1963 etc. there are 3 categories of personal in embassies (and consulates)..\n1. diplomatic agents (they have an immunity from local income tax - they can be obliged to pay income tax at home)\n2. administrative personal (they have the immunity if they expats, if they are local staff they are obliged to pay income tax)\n3. service personal (they are mostly local) in the question of taxation they are in the same status as administrative ones.\n\nbesides that, countries, can give additional immunities (e.g. to local staff) when signing agreement about embassy, or consulate...

I don't know the rules of MO nor KS but if both states require tax returns at year end you would have to file a non-resident return for the state you work (MO) in and a resident return for the state you live in (KS).\nFor federal tax you should have completed form w4 when you started working which explains how many exemptions you can claim and whether you can claim to be exempt from fed tax. If you're making 50000 it is doubtful you can be exempt from fed tax withholding\nIt is also doubtful you can claim exemption from social security unless you're clergy.\nAs for being Indian its is the Indian tribes that may be tax exempt. Generally, as American citizens, individual American Indians and their businesses are subject to federal income taxation, unless exempted by treaty, statute, or Act of Congress. Tribal membership does not exempt an Indian from federal taxation.\n\nThe following is a website to help you calculate the correct fed withholdings: http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=96196,00.html

Nope, not on income taxes.  If you purchase stuff from the PX or the Commisary then that is sales tax free.  But Income taxes are normal as if you were anyother job.  If you could try to register in TX or WY cause they have no state income taxes but thats the only way around that!

You get a credit on your US tax returns for any foreign taxes you paid on that income, which avoids the double taxation.

Depending upon the country in which she lives, an income tax treaty between the US and her country of residence could affect the answer to this question.  The following discussion assumes no treaty applies.\n\nUnder IRS rulings, a qualified plan distribution is bifurcated into a piece that is compensation (employer contributions) and a piece that is investment income (earnings).  The investment income piece is always treated as US source income subject to withholding (when paid to a nonresident alien).  The compensation piece will be US source only to the extent the employee's services were performed in the US.  If all your services were performed in the US, then all the income will be US source and potentially subject to withholding.\n\nThe IRS took the position in Rev. Rul. 79-388 that the compensation piece is not effectively connected to a US trade or business because the employee was not employed in the US during the taxable year of payment.  Therefore, in the absence of a treaty, all US source amounts will be subject to US tax at 30%.  This tax is colleced by withholding at the source.\n\nThese are general comments only and you should consult a tax advisor for definitive advice as well as a full exploration of how the general rules will apply on your specific facts.\n\n*************************\nCorrection\n\nThe Code now provides that income from the performance of services that is deferred to a later year is still treated as effectively connected income when received.\n\nHow this provision would interact with rules relating to income in respect of a decedent, and the fact that the recipient would be a person other than the person who performed the services, are issues I would want to research further.

Any act for education is tax exempt if the education institution is registered with the Tax Office.  If your office is not registered, the income derived from the event is taxable.

Many legals from vietnam and other Asian countries got a 5 year free ride on taxes.\n\nIllegals don't pay taxes because they get paid under the table.

They getcha where they can. Both new and used or second hand items are taxable.\n\nPlaces I know where you might not pay tax is garage sales and e-Bay.

I don't think so. If you want to avoid tax, go to somewhere where they don't have it. Maybe use Swiss bank accounts too.

They should follow the law.  No exceptions.\n\nThere are exceptions however,  there is a combat zone tax exclusion.  So men and woman serving in a combat zone don't pay federal tax on like the first 5000 dollars,  but the higher ranking ones do on the 5001rst etc. dollar.  I could get into details but if you never served it would be gibberish, but basically a general who makes 8000 would have to pay federal tax in that month on the 3000.  Thats an example.\n\nSo theres the tax benefit of being in a combat zone.  But coming home and being able to drink, thats nonsense.  Not paying child support,  worthless idea.\n\nI guess if you are in Space on a NASA mission on April 15 your taxes aren't due - but I have to believe they file early like everyone else does.

Yep, same as any place else.  They may enjoy tax relief due to nonprofit status, but your income from them is taxable just as any other income.
