<< IRS Form 843. Reference is on page 45 of Pub 519 >
naturally I found what I wanted in the pub about 2 days
before the post appeared here. Tis the nature of the
moderated NG I fear, but thanks for the confirm. Quite a few
hoops with more than just 843 being required. May explain to
the clients that my cost to them may far outweigh the
refunds so they may want to take a crack at the 843
themselves.

That and they want me to look into it on March 30, like as
if I gots no other work to do this time of year, LOL

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
