How long does form 843 social security tax refund usually take?
Hi,
I've submitted form 843 to get refund back for the social security/medicare tax that I shouldn't pay for the last year (F1 student/OPT). How long this will take? I've submitted all the documents since 2/15/2008 but haven't heard anything back since then. Thanks very much! |

Wait for another 2 weeks and then call IRS to find the status of your Form 843.

Thanks so much for prompt answer. Do you know what number I can call IRS? I've tried so many number last month but it seems like they are only automatic system to provide status of 1040 filing.

Hi, I did not get my refunds back yet for the year 2009. I filed my form 843 in April 2009. Can you please let me know if you received the refunds.

pdasari: You should post your question as a new post. Give more info, you visa, type of return (which Form) filed in 2007 and 2008. When did you file your 2008 tax return? |

It takes AT LEAST three months to process the Form 843, but it CAN take up to a year.
The average wait time is six months. I submitted a Form 843 for a Canadian doctor in mid-September 2010, and she got HER check last week. |

Hello all,
I am in the same scenario and hence didn't start a new thread. I filed form 843 for refund on social Security and Medicare tax in April 2016 and haven't heard back. I didn't receive a notice either to follow-up. I am clueless how do I follow-up and check the status. I am not even sure if my mail was received. Appreciate your help. Thanks! |

Prior to 2014, submissions of Form 843 could take up to a year to process.
However, with budget cuts and manpower shortages, the processing time is probably a LOT longer now. |
