    My questions are following:
    1. Am I non-resident alien or resident alien?
    2. Do I have to pay federal tax,Social Security and Medicare taxes while on OPT ?
    3. Which form do I need to use?
    4. Will I get all my money back?

    1) You are a resident alien. Your non-resident alien status probably expired in 2004 but, for sure, in 2005.

    2) Yes.

    3) Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ.

    4) Probably NOT!
