What is my Refund.wmv

http://www.TaxMama.com Today TaxMama hears from Alex in the TaxQuips Forum who is confused. "I'm wondering what my refund would be if I claimed exempt status for about half of 2011.I'm a full-time student, filing as single, with a gross income of about $10,000. I tried doing some of my taxes on TurboTax, but it said my refund would only be my federal withholding. So my real question is -- when you pay into Social Security and Medicare taxes, why don't you receive those funds back?"
