Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you met the substantial presence test, you became a resident alien starting in year 2023 thus FICA taxes should have been withheld starting year 2023. This means these should have been withheld in 2024 as well. Here is how to file form 8919 in your Turbo Tax return for year 2024.

 

  1. Open TurboTax and sign in to your account.
  2. Navigate to the Federal section: Click on "Federal" in the left-hand menu.
  3. Go to Wages & Income: On the "Your 2024 Income Summary" screen, scroll down to the last section called "Less Common Income."
  4. Select Miscellaneous Income: Click the "Start" button for "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C."
  5. Choose Other Income: On the next screen, click the "Start" button for "Other income not already reported on a Form W-2 or Form 1099."
  6. Answer the questions: The next few screens will ask about household employee wages, sick or disability pay, and Medicaid waiver payments. Click "Continue" on these screens without entering anything.
  7. Enter Employee Compensation: When asked if you earned any other wages, select "Yes" and click "Continue." Then, select "Employee compensation that was not reported on a W-2."
  8. Enter Employer Information: On the "Report Your Wage Income" screen, enter your employer's name and EIN from your W-2. For "Total Wages Received," 

TurboTax will prepare and file Form 8919 for you with your return, and the Social Security and Medicare taxes will be calculated and included in your total tax liability.
