主题：【求助】在美国拿最低薪酬要缴税么？ -- 小楼春雨

税已经扣了。

是否合资格领政府福利，你得去当地的，办工卡那个部门询问。

联邦标准的最低薪酬还是 $7.25。 各个州不一样，最高的Washington州也才 $9.32。 拿这种工资的一般是小时工，除了这点钱外，没有其他如医疗一类的福利。

如果只按这个联邦最低薪酬拿，每月才7.25*40*4=1160美元.一年玩命不休假也就7.25*40*52=15080。这个收入的话，每年报税时差不多可以倒拿，因为有 Earned Income Tax Credit。 单身无娃的话，只要修几天假，把工资降低到$14,340，又是公民，没有其他收入的话，2013 Tax Year的EITC是$487。如果有娃的话，除了EITC，还有Child Tax Credit拿。美帝社会主义就是好！
