Received my W2c. Which form to fill - form 843 or 1040x?
Hi,
I was deducted social security and medicare taxes by my employer in the year 2006. Now, since I was under student Visa (F1) at the time of employment, I was not supposed to have been taxed the SS and medicare taxes.
I have already informed my company, and they have sent me the corrected W2 (W2C) form for the year 2006. So, now the problem begins, what should I do with this w2c form? On the W2C form it is said I should fill and send in the amended return form (1040X) to the IRS if I have already filed my return for the year 2006 ( which I have). But when I asked around, I was informed in order to get a refund I had to send in the 843 form...
Now I'm not sure as to which form I should be sending in. Anyone know what I should do? Any help would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
