OPT -> H1B, spouse F2->H4, tax filing & ss and medicare taxes
Hello,
I came to US from China in January 2006, and graduated December 2007. I started to work from Feb. 2008. From Feb. 2008 to Sep. 2008, I worked with my OPT. My visa status was changed from F1 to H1B on Oct. 1 2008 and my spouse's changed from F2 to H4.
My employer paid Social Security and Medicare taxes during my OPT.
In this case, what is the best way to refund Social Security and Medicare taxes from Feb. 2008 to Sep. 2008 and file the tax return? Which form should my wife and I use?
