    You will file nonresident tax return Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ. You can also claim your actual expenses for lodging and meals.Use Form 2106 or 2106-EZ to figure your allowable expenses that you claim on line 9 of Schedule A (Form 1040NR). Your U.S. Tax Return: Itemized Deductions

    Given the facts, you will probably get ALL of your withheld state and federal income taxes back, especially if you claim daily living expenses using Form 2106.

    Unfortunately, the FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes cannot be recovered.
