Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It depends. Social security taxes are 6.2% of Box 1 Wages. Medicare taxes are 1.45% of Box 1 Wages. The only amount refunded if it was over withheld would be Box 2, federal withholding. This is true whether you are a dependent or not.

 

The state taxes that are withheld could be refunded, also.

 

TurboTax Employee Tax Expert ColeenD3 is correct.
