You will need to file dual-status returns for BOTH 2007 and 2008.

You MAY receive a refund for your federal and state income taxes; that depends on how much you have withheld from your paycheck. Do NOT have too much withheld, as ANY refund is an interest-free loan to the government.

You will NOT get a refund of Social Security or Medicare taxes. Sorry!

However, if your home country has a totalization agreement with the U.S., these taxes may be credited against an equivalent account in your home country.
