Dear Sir or Madam,

I came to US as a research scholar (J1 visa). I've worked under J1 status from 04/2006 to 04/2010, and paid Social Security and Medicare fee for 2 years. However, I am leaving US soon, and no longer work and retire in US. So my questions will be:
1. Am I eligible to claim the Social Security and Medicare tax back for these two years?
2. What forms should I use to claim if it is OK?

Appreciate your time and timely reply.

Yours sincerely,

Kevin

No you will not get FICA taxes back for returns after 2 years on J-1.
