Re: FICA Taxes - Resident Exemption Wins!

Hi,

I think the IRS issued a specific rules early in 2005 stating that medical residents and fellows were subject to FICA taxes from that day forward. That's why your program did not file a FICA refund claim for 2005.

Who knows if this IRS ruling will stand up in court?

And unfortunately, at this point in time, if your program didn't file a claim for 2005, and you didn't file an individual claim, then it might be too late to file anything with the IRS to get your FICA taxes from 2005 refunded.

Zip Code: 01801
