L1 visa Tax related

Hi,
I am on a L1 visa to US from India.
Say, my current US salary is $3000 per month. Tax is deducted based on the assumption that my yearly income will be $36,000. But assuming that my assignment requires me to stay here only for say 6 months ( no overlapping calendar years ), my actual yearly income would be only $18000 for that year. So, my assumption in this context is the extra tax which was deducted has to be returned back to me.

If my assumption is correct, what are the conditions which determine how much will be returned, like we have various income slabs in India, here is it based on slabs or the amount of time I stay in US...??And what is the kind of amount I can expect back....??

Thanks in advance.
 
You will get money back

I don't know if it is different for L1 visa but I think your tax
deductin will be for $36,000 per annum.But at the end of the year
when you file taxes, tax you pay will be only for what you made
during that calender year which is $18,000 and you will get the
refund .
 
Since when do L1 visa holders pay taxes

I thought they were exempt from taxes

Please enlighten
