Hello,
Last year, in the first two months, I was working at my school on my OPT in NY, and then I moved to Florida and am working for a consulting company since March. From March 2nd to August 1st I was OPT status. After August 1st, I changed F-1 visa to H1B visa. From what I read from IRS, I am supposed to be a dual status in 2005. Am I right? Also my company only gave me on W-2 form for last year besides a W-2 form from my school. Should I ask a separate W-2 form from my company? I came to USA in August 2000, so by August 2005 I was still a non-resident since I was F-1 visa. Do I understand correct? Sorry for so many questions. Just this tax status is really confusing. Thank you very much. One more question, my company withhold my Medicare and Social Security taxes during my OPT, should I ask them to refund me? What kind of documents should I provide to them? Thanks a lot. :)
