Field notes
The homepage routes visitors by situation—including F-1, J-1, and M-1 students, visa workers, recent green-card holders, and people new to U.S. money. It lists residency and FICA checks alongside Roth IRA topics and named money traps, and says answers link to IRS sources. The page also says calculators run in the browser without saving entries; tax-season reminders are presented through a waitlist.
