@Opus 17 Sprintax used the wage listed on my W-2 as eligible income, even though I provided all my U.S. visits and indicated that I wasn’t in the U.S. (like all of 2023). At the time I filed the return, I did not I realize either that I did not have to pay those taxes if I wasn’t physically in the U.S.
FICA showed up once on my paycheck this June, which is when I noticed that my tax location code was incorrect and caused me to be misidentified as a resident alien. After correcting the tax location code, I no longer see FICA, but federal, state, and county taxes are still being withheld. I’ll see if I can claim an exemption and will discuss with my advisor to make sure everything is on the right track. Also I will file a form 843 too, thanks for the info!
