This is where we come in. If you are unable to get a full refund of the withheld amounts from your employer, you will have to file a claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration and also with Medicare.
You can claim for refund with the IRS which is a called an "Abatement". This can be done separately without your tax return and you also need to declare on a a few specific forms. You must declare what is called the why Information; Regarding "Request for Refund of Social Security Tax that was Erroneously Withheld on Wages Received by a Non-Resident Alien on an F, J, or M Type Visa". Along with the request you must submit additional required supporting documents.
Processing these claims and requests for refund
Starting in 2024, We will be processing these claims and requests for clients who meet the qualifying criteria.
If you have consistently filed your income taxes as as a Non-Resident foreign worker using the 1040NR and also filed with your State taxes as a Non-Resident, the process is more likely than not going to go pretty smooth.
This will be done on a billable hour basis. Our billable hour for document preparation is $150 per hour, with a 2 hour minimum. The estimated time for us to produce all the documentation with all the forms to process these claims and requests for refund is approximately 2 hours. So your looking at an estimated $300 for us to go thru the process for you to get possibly thousands of dollars back that you had deducted from your pay over the months and even years and cant get back any other way.
To get started, we will have you sign a legal document preparation "retainer agreement". We will also have you sign a specific power of Attorney allowing us to talk to and discuss this specific legal matter on your behalf specifically with the IRS, Social Security Administration and any other governing connected party as needed.
