    If you were a non-resident alien (and only in that case you would not be liable for social security and Medicare) you should have filed a non-resident alien return on form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ.
    So you would enter on line 6: other -> 1040NR (or 1040NR-EZ)

    In this case, TaxForAliens is wrong.

    On Line #6, check off the box next to Form 941, which is the Quarterly Employment Tax form filed by your employer.

    Additional, Line #3 should be "Employment".

    If you need professional help with this form, contact me at [email protected] or [email protected].
