Question

38. Mary Catherine, an international student from Ireland, has a Form W-2 that shows amounts withheld for Social Security and Medicare taxes. Mary Catherine is an F-1 student who first arrived in the U.S. in 2018. What form should Mary Catherine use to claim a refund of her Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld

Answer 1

Answer: Form 843

Explanation:

As a taxpayer, Mary can use Form 843 to claim a refund of her Social Security taxes. First she tried to obtain the refund through her employer and should this fail, she should fill out a form 843 and submit it to get help on the claim.

The form can also be used to get an abatement on FUTA taxes as well as a refund of interest, penalties, or additions to taxes.
