> An employer has no legal obligation to commence an immigration case. ... The employer may lawfully reject the job applicant because, if hired, that individual will ask the employer to take steps before the federal government to obtain authorization to employ him (an employment-based immigration case).

In other words, if you are not currently legally authorized to work in the US, the employer has no obligation to sponsor you for work authorization, and can simply reject you.

> This situation differs from one in which a job applicant has temporary work authorization that is independent of the employer and the applicant does not ask the employer to take on the legal obligation of an immigration case in order to employ him. The employer should not reject the job applicant simply because he has temporary work authorization.

On the other hand, a non-citizen with a green card, EAD, etc. is protected, and refusing to hire because of those documents is illegal.

The employer already intends to hire the immigrant. In fact, the immigrant may already be working for them on an H1-B or other visa. So it's effectively a job listing that is already filled.

CalFile only cares about handling "simple" items. Other notable exclusions [2] are capital gains, health savings accounts, Schedule C, Schedule E, and Roth IRA conversions and distributions.

Your former employer should take care of the FICA part after you repay them. For federal income tax, you'll claim a tax credit when you file your return according to "Repayment over $3,000" under IRS Pub 525. State income tax may have a similar process, though it can vary depending on the state.

> Baruch’s financial engineering course is ... also extremely hard to get into. The acceptance rate for the ’23 crop of 25 students is roughly 8% — similar to the one for a traditional two-year MBA at Wharton. These days, more and more Baruch MFEs are coming from overseas. Ten years ago, most Baruch students studying to be financial engineers were American, many from New York. Now, the majority are from China, with some coming in from countries including Switzerland and Russia, Stefanica says.

(I'd link to TD directly, but it looks like it's being hammered right now.)

Default withholding has been 22% now for a few years. I bring this up because the gap between default withholding and the higher marginal rates has widened compared to the years it was at 25%.

> Yet, base comp tends to be withheld at marginal rates

To clarify, default withholding on base pay uses your bottom tax rates. It assumes you have no other income, so it will calculate based on standard deduction, 10%, 12%, then working upwards. So I wouldn't use the word "marginal" to refer to base pay because most people understand that as their top tax rates.

This means that for bonus, stock, and other compensation, it's reasonable to increase withholding to reflect the top tax rates.

> most folks’ effective tax rates

A bit of an aside, but I'm not a big fan of the idea of "effective tax rates". It's not a term the IRS uses, but something that tax software companies like to push for whatever reason. You also can't do much with it in practice: regarding withholding, it's not useful and potentially confusing.

> ... commenters asked that there be no change to the Form 1099-B to reflect compensation status or, alternatively, that using the indicator be permitted, but not required. These commenters indicated that compensation information is not accessible to most brokers, and extensive reprogramming for both the underlying database and the reporting process would be required. The commenters also expressed concerns that, in many situations, a broker would have to accept customer-provided information in order to track the compensation-related status.

> The lack of a mechanism to communicate whether the basis of stock has been adjusted for the exercise of a compensatory option coupled with a system involving discretionary broker adjustments for compensatory options would, however, be unworkable.

> A broker may not increase initial basis for income recognized upon the exercise of a compensatory option or the vesting or exercise of other equity-based compensation arrangements, granted or acquired on or after January 1, 2014.
