Possible tax refund for medical residents

I know most of you are still in the early stages of training, but if your Dr. H was a resident prior to April 1, 2005, you may have some money coming your way. The IRS recently announced that it will reimburse the employer and employee portion of FICA taxes paid for medical residents prior to April 1, 2005, so long as the employer previously filed a timely refund claim with the IRS.

Here is an article from UC-Davis. A friend of mine from residency recently checked with the University of Iowa (where our husbands trained), and they are working on it, too - so check with your program if you think you qualify.

Every little bit helps!
