Income taxes in USA
U.S. income tax that is paid is called federal. Federal income tax must be paid by people from all over the U.S. There are some U.S. states such as Texas, Florida, Nevada, who do not pay state income tax. Even if people from these regions do not pay state income tax when buying a home will pay an amount property tax large enough. Also in the U.S. each year employees must complete a file income tax statements until April 15 next year. All people who have income from independent activities (outside of their job) must file a tax return with monthly incomes. If you work for a company your employer must submit an income tax and calculate it. Your employer needs to pay monthly a sum of money from your gross salary for social and medical insurances.
All these medical and social security contributions are around 7% from your gross monthly salary. If you have your own business will have to pay federal income tax quarterly. In case you do not pay this tax you will pay quite big penalties.

If the amount calculated for your personal deductions is greater than the sum of the tax form you will have to pay cash difference. If a person outside the U.S comes to visit you will not have to make any statements of income even if you she stays six months on American soil.
