Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Hi @pk ,
Yes for the year 2022, I was on F1-OPT and had already five years of exempt status (Filed taxes for the year 2017. 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 as non-resident 1040-NR). For the year 2023, I changed my status to O1 (which is very similar to H1).
So to answer your question, for the tax year 2022, I am on F1-OPT. The employer thought that I was on FICA tax exempt status and did not withheld my FICA. However I already had my five years of exempt status. Hence, I am confused on what to do. From what you are saying, IRS wont hold me for not paying FICA?
I am a citizen of India. Yes, I was a resident there before my F1 status. Thank you for the information.
