    Medicare and Social security tax returns for L1B visa ?
    Hi,
    Im on L1B visa and got transferred to US office about 14 months back.
    In my W-2 forms I found that there are withheld amounts as Social security tax and Medicare tax.
    Appreciate your answers for the followings
    1) As a Non Resident Alien am I suppose to pay Medicare and Social security tax ?
    2) Can I get returns for Medicare and Social security tax ? If so where do I have to specify them in my 1040NR-EZ form ?

    Thanks in advance,
    J

    1) You are NOT a non-resident alien. You are probably dual-status. Regardless, anyone under a "H" or "L" visa is liable for Social Security and Medicare taxes.

    2) No refund of these taxes is possible.
