lol, I'm with Teri. I would say contact a tax professional in the state that he will be filing and they should have those answers, as state tax laws vary state to state. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. :)

He will need to file his tax using the form designed for non resident. I don't know if there is dollar amount under which he doesn't need to file. As far as I know, non resident or non citizen can't declare exemption. The tax rate for them is the highest. The best thing for your cousin to do is to consult a professional tax preparer.

Only citizens of the United States of America pay taxes to the United States of America.
Your cousin has to pay taxes to his country only.
