Dear Sir,
Sub : How To Get Back The Amount Withheld As Taxes.
I am an Indian citizen. I was a Green Card holder and stayed and worked in the US from 1971 to 1983. In 1983, I took the change of residency and settled in India permanently. Presently, I am filing Indian Income Tax returns regularly.
I turned 62 in January 2008, and so I have started to receive Social Security payments in India. However, I just received a statement from the SSA administration that I was entitled to a total of $ 7,350 /- for the year 2008, and they have deducted $ 1,874/- out of that as 'Amount Withheld for Taxes'. The rest of the amount is received by me during 2008.
Would you please guide me as to how I can get this amount, ('Amount Withheld for Taxes') back? Do I need to file US Income Tax return? If yes, which form no. Can I do it while I am an Indian citizen and living in India? Is there any other way for me to get this amount back?
