How long will my tax refund take?
The IRS generally processes federal returns filed electronically within 21 days if they don’t need further review. Returns filed by mail can take six weeks or longer. State processing times vary by state.
Can I still get a refund if my visa expired or I returned to Türkiye?
Generally, yes. A visa expiring or a return to Türkiye doesn’t in itself prevent you from filing for the relevant tax year and claiming any refund you’re entitled to.
I switched from J‑1 to F‑1 status. What happens now?
Visa status and tax residency are separate. Your periods in J‑1 and F‑1 status, the days you spent in the U.S., and the substantial presence rules are reviewed together by calendar year.
What should I do if I have a Form 1042‑S?
Form 1042‑S may report certain U.S. source income and withholding. Upload all pages in the portal’s 1042‑S section. If you also have a W‑2, upload it in the W‑2 section.
Can you help with stock transactions or a Form 1099‑B?
Yes. We review stock sales, cost basis, and capital gains or losses reported on Form 1099‑B and brokerage statements. Additional fees may apply depending on the number of transactions.
Can you help if my SSN or date of birth is incorrect?
Yes. We can help identify the cause of the mismatch, explain the documents and steps the agency requires, and help you resubmit when appropriate. You may need to contact the Social Security Administration yourself to update its records.
Do I still have to file a form if I had no income?
If you were in the U.S. in F, J, M, or Q status, you may need to file Form 8843 even if you don’t need to file an income tax return. This depends on your visa history.
Is it better to provide a U.S. address?
A current U.S. address that you can access securely and have permission to use may help with official correspondence. Physical mail sent to Türkiye may be delayed or lost. Don’t use someone else’s address without permission.
What if the IRS or state rejects my tax return?
An e‑file rejection doesn’t necessarily mean your refund has been denied. We review the rejection code, identify what can be corrected, and resubmit if it’s included in your service. If the agency asks for more documents or changes your refund, we explain what to do next.
Will an automated system answer my questions?
Our AI assistant can answer general questions about our services. The BilgunTax team reviews your personal tax file and is available through WhatsApp or the secure portal. We respond to general questions within 24 hours. Use the secure portal to send passports, SSNs, banking details, and tax documents.
What is your cancellation and fee refund policy?
If you cancel before substantive review begins, your service fee is refunded. Once work begins, completed work is nonrefundable. An IRS or state delay or decision doesn’t automatically qualify you for a fee refund.
