Honestly, I’d make a list of questions and ask them to HR at the company you’re going to working for. They should at least be able to get some of your questions answered.

When you do get paid, review your pay stub. That will have the details of your pay. Gross pay = $23/hour times the number of hours worked in that pay period. Net pay = amount the check (or direct deposit) is for. This is gross pay minus any deductions Deductions would be taxes (federal, state, and possibly local), Medicare and social security, anything you have to pay towards medical benefits (if applicable)

Since you’ll be working in 2023, you would need to file taxes by April 15th, 2024. Your employer would provide you with a form, called a W-2 that lists out the totals of how much gross money you made, taxes you paid, and any contributions to Medicare and social security.

Most HR employees are not international tax experts.

Absolutely true, but if they’re hiring international interns and providing lodging and transportation, it sounds like they have an established program and do this a lot. They might know more than you think.
