I came to US in 2003 August on F1 status. I was on F1 until Aug 2008 and I got H1B on October 2008.
I worked on CPT from January 2008 to Aug 2008 and on H1B from Oct 2008 to Dec 2008.
For the fist five years (2003 to 2007), I filed 1040 NREZ and form 8843.
Can I file form 1040 for 2008 and also form 843 to claim Social Security and Medicare taxes that were withheld during my CPT?
Thanks,
Ravi.
