    Tamar:

    Please give me the exact timeline of all of your visits (dates of visits under which visa) so that I can verify your assumption that you are a resident alien.

    The time for exempt status under the J-1 visa is two years, which you have exceeded.

    You are in fact a resident alien and you cannot get the FICA taxes refunded.

    Sorry!

    Boht Medicare and state disability payments are not refundable as well.

    Yes, you need to file a tax return (Form 1040/1040A/1040EZ).
