關於上次提問的CPT SS Fee 和 Medicare - 年終

不好意思又來發問。

因為我的支票上已被扣這兩項費用
而之前板友說
1. 請雇主退
2. 等報稅自己填表單退

我已經和雇主提出反應
但可能因為網路上的資料寫得都是OPT相關事宜
CPT資訊較少
故主回信表示經過討論他們還是決定要在下一次支票扣這兩項費用

但其中有兩件事情我比較不解

以下是雇主回信

Hi Kathy



I spoke to our accountant about Social Security and Medicare withholding for
foreign nationals. Based on our discussion, and some additional research, it
would appear that you are taxed in the same manner as a US Citizen would be—
I have not found any info indicating that you aren’t liable for Medicaid and
Social Security taxes. In fact, it seems that you would be able to collect on
these under some circumstances. Either way, it is not possible for any worker
to be exempted from Medicare and SS tax and not have these withheld—even if
you were exempt from federal and state taxes, you would be liable for these
two, and they would come out of your check (and not be refunded).

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news; nonetheless whatever you are in fact
exempt from will be refunded when you do your taxes. Regarding the
possibility that you may leave the US in January, please let me know if this
does end up happening so we can make proper arrangements.



Thanks,

Cord


"even if
you were exempt from federal and state taxes, you would be liable for these

這句話的譯思是
就算年終退稅我也退不到嗎？

還有之前雇主有跟我說退稅時間
但我表示那期間我很有可能已經離開美國回到台灣
這樣我怎麼拿退稅呢？
