H1B - Socail security- Medicare tax refund

[saravanakumar]

Hi,

I was working in US for 8 years(till 2011) and i came back to India 2 years before. I have paid the Social Security and Medicare Tax for 8 years.

Is there anyway i can get the money back? or else can it be transfer to PF account in India?

Thanks

No. This is a tax that everyone who works in the U.S. has to pay. It was correctly deducted; you cannot "get it back".
