I am about to file taxes for 2013. It came out that I owe 231 dollars. However, for the same year, my employer incorrectly withheld medicare and social security for the total amount of $1100( I am a student on F-1 visa so I am exempt from those taxes). Since my employer is unable to refund me such money and therefore I have to request it from the IRS, the IRS actually owes me $869. My plan is to fill out form 1040NR-EZ along with the forms in which I request a refund for medicare and social security with a cover letter, in which I'd say that I am not returning the 231 dollars because I am actually owed 1100 and therefore the difference is $869.
My situation is even more complicated.
For the years of 2011 and 2012, I incorrectly filed 1040A because I was advised to use turbotax which generated a form I was not supposed to use. I am now trying to amend taxes for those years. My income in 2011 was less than 2000 dollars so after filling out form 1040NR-EZ, it came out that I was owed the same money that was generated by form 1040A. However, for the year of 2012, form 1040A generated a refund of 1030 dollars when I was actually entitled to only $100. This means I would have to return ~900 dollars. However, because my employer withheld $2000, for the year of 2012, the IRS owes me more money, so I would like to proceed the same way as 2013 and request to get a refund of the difference.
I hope someone can help me out with this!! I already filled out all the forms but I want to avoid having to return 900 dollars and wait 10 months to get the $2000 that I am owed!
