    How can I file for FICA I have paid
    I am on J1 visa since jun 2007. As per the J1 rule- I am exempted from paying FICA for 2 financial years (Jan-Dec) My employer has been deducting FICA so far. How can I claim it back?

    Ask your employer to refund you FICA taxes. Send them e-mail. Now they cannot refund it but you need their answer. Now file Form 843.
