I have a few NR aliens who have had Social security/medicare taxes withheld by some (not all in all cases) employers during the year 2004, some also into 2005. They are all here under F-1 Sudent visa's, mostly from India, but also many from Nepal and Bangladesh. As they are exempt from SSA taxes, how do we go about applying for a refund of the taxes already witheld in 2004 - looking for a form # as can't seem to find it on the IRS website. I have told them to notify their employers that they are exempt - and most employers are not withholding the tax, but some still have, and have done so up until notified this year to cease the w/h. TIA
Dave
