A tax rebate for what? Federal or state?. There is no where near enough information here for anyone to give you any viable advice.

i am sorry that i didnot provide the information.

its the 1099; for the graduate students tax rebate.

i made around $25000 and got back $3000 from federal.

now i came to know that international students are not eligible for this one.
