Re: Huge News - Looks Like the IRS Will Begin Processing the FICA Refunds

As of now, that's what the IRS is saying. However, they keep losing in court, so who knows what will happen to people in their training after 2005.

Based on what happened here, I think it's very important that medical residents and fellows continue to file the FICA Refund paperwork detailed in our February 2001 newsletter at www.mdtaxes.com/news0201.html.

What the IRS did was very tricky. They waited until the Statute of Limitations expired for people to file for a refund of their pre-2006 FICA Taxes before issuing this announcement. Now, only people who have already filed their paperwork will be in line to get back their FICA taxes.

Finally, anyone who did file paperwork with the IRS for pre-2006 FICA refunds, please let us know whether you hear from the IRS, and, if so, what they say.

Re: Huge News - Looks Like the IRS Will Begin Processing the FICA Refunds

I filed an individual clain several years ago and just received a letter today saying that my FICA taxes will be returned (even though they did not include all years of interest). Has anyone else seen this letter....
