Tamar:

Please give me the exact timeline of all of your visits (dates of visits under which visa) so that I can verify your assumption that you are a resident alien.

my first visit to USA was from June 14, 2002 till June 9, 2004 J-I visa as research scholar,
my second visit is July 1, 2006 till May 31, 2008 J-1 visa

thank you tamar

The time period for exempt status under the J-1 visa is two years, which you have exceeded.

You are in fact a resident alien and you cannot get the FICA taxes refunded.

Sorry!

Boht Medicare and state disability payments are not refundable as well.

Yes, yu need to file a tax return (Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ).
