Hi, I can guide you step-by-step through your FICA refund claim for the portion of 2025 when you were in F-1 status. I’ve worked with international students and H-1B transitions and understand how FICA exemptions apply during F-1 status and how they end once H-1B begins. For Jan–Sep 2025 (while on F-1), if you were a nonresident alien for tax purposes and your employer withheld Social Security and Medicare in error, you may be eligible for a refund. For Oct–Dec under H-1B, FICA generally applies and is not refundable. I will: • Confirm eligibility based on residency status and visa timeline • Identify whether refund should be requested from employer first or directly from the IRS • Prepare the correct forms (typically Form 843 + Form 8316 and supporting docs) • Ensure documentation is complete to avoid rejection or delays My focus is accuracy and compliance so your claim is clean the first time.
