About J1 Go Tax

J1 Go Tax exists because J-1 visa workers get a version of the U.S. tax system that most tax software and most preparers don’t handle well: nonresident filing rules, FICA exemptions, and state returns that don’t work like they do for a typical W-2 employee.

We focus on one group — J-1 workers with W-2 income — instead of trying to serve every kind of filer. That means fewer surprises: your return gets prepared by people who see this exact situation every season, not a generic filing tool that treats a J-1 visa the same as any other job.

Founder

J1 Go Tax is led by Alexander Español, who also founded Outsourcing Processing, a compliance and bookkeeping platform built for the same principle: get the tax and compliance details right the first time, in plain language.
