W-2 questions from an ICP

[typhoonlagoon11]

Hello,
I worked for Disneyworld as an ICP (from France) this summer and I've received my W-2 about a week ago. The problem is I don't have the slightest idea of what it is and what I am supposed to do with it. Can you please give me further information ?
Thank you,

I'm not an accountant, so I'm not sure of what liability you have to the French government.

But if it were me, I'd file a tax return, go to turbotax.com or taxcut.com. They should offer you a free option to file a federal return, and whatever money you get back could be deposited into a US based checking account (assuming you have one), or sent via a US dollar check.

Thank you very much for your advice, I'll sure follow it!
A last thing : Am I supposed to print the forms on IRS.COM and then send them out? That may sound as a silly question but we have a sort of special paper in France for the tax forms..

Just efile. Free and no paperwork necessary.

Pretty sure if it is your first time filing taxes it can not be done electronically.

For federal I've always efiled.
