Help needed on tax filing on OPT and H1

[ksreddy]

Hello all,

I started working for a company full time from march1, 2010 on my opt.
My employer sponsored for my H1 and my H1 started from oct 1 2010.
My employer deducted my paycheck with SSN and medicare even when i was on OPT.
What would be the best possible way to get those back. I tried convincing them that they should not cut those when i was on OPT but they did not agree.

One of my friend had the same issue, he applied form 8316 (last year), but he did not receive SSN n Medicare till now.

Can any one give any attorney who is capable handling these, or is there any way that could be done.......please help....


Thanks in advance!!!

i had the same problem... i told my HR the same .... so they basically had to re-do my W2 also they had to re-do my whole tax for that year.... they took lot of time but i got my money back... may be ur employer is not willing to do it becos there is some money and strain involved there

and what the heck u mean by they did not agree ?? whats wrong with ur HR ?? show them the website where it says OPT students shud;nt have those taxes ?? aina its for them to find out and give u back the money... desi company a adi ?
