Answer 1 :
How much of that $2,200 was for Federal income tax? Assuming that 7.65% was withheld for Social Security and Medicare, that should be about $1,359, less $550 for OK State tax = $809 for Federal income tax. Assuming that you are still within your first 5 years in the US, you are taxed as a non-resident alien so you can only deduct your personal exemption amount from your wages. $11,000 - $3,500 = $7,500 for taxable income. The tax on $7,500 is $750. $809 - $750 = $59 refunded to you. This is just a guess based upon assumptions that may or may not be correct.
