Query on paid SS and Medicare

manisha · #1 Jan 27, 2006, 08:01 PM

Hi,

During 2004 , I was in F-1 for 9 months and switched to H1B for the rest. And I filed 1040NREZ and got my tax refunds. My employer has deducted ss and medicare. I didnt know that there is no need to pay for ss and medicare if it is dual status year. I came to know this just today... Is there anyway I can amend and file the form 843 and get the ss/medicare I paid during 2004 back? or it is just gone?

I have a question...

Do the ss and medicare taxes we get back need to be taxed?

are they taxable income?
