Hi,
I was on F-1 student visa during 2009. I spent 3 months on CPT and both social security and Medicare taxes were withheld from my wage (about $1300) during this period (which I believe I was not subject to these taxes as nonresident alien).
Now, when I do my 2009 tax, I owe $1100, I completed form 8316 and843 for claim these taxes. My question is, should I pay the $1100 to IRS and wait until they refund those erroneously withheld taxes or there is a way to put these numbers in my 1040-NR form and wait for $200 refund? (Honestly I don't have $1100 now :) )
Thanks!
