In 2008, when I was here on a J1 visa, the company I was training with turned in a W2 to the IRS. The IRS is now counting my living expenses that I never had to pay taxes on as taxable income. I received a very large tax bill for 2008. I did not start working until November of 2009. Has anyone here had to deal with anything like this before?
