Hi, I am on OPT visa and thus, not required to pay Medicare and Social Security taxes. However, my employer deducted FICA taxes from my salary for 2022 (full year) and 2021 (Aug - Dec). I filed my taxes and received refunds for both years respectively.
I also filed a FICA tax Refund for 2022 and received the refund. My employer then provided me with the corrected W-2 for 2022 and 2021. My question is, after having received the FICA refund, do I still need to file the amended tax return for 2022 with the W-2c? I mean, the IRS has the updated information, which is why they issued me the refund, but I want to be sure that my taxes are filed correctly.
Also, I have filed the FICA tax refund for 2021 but have not received it yet. I would like to know if I should file an amended tax return for 2021 as well. Thanks a lot!
