Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hey Dave, 

For full context, I followed your steps.

I was on an F1 student visa last year.

I entered the US in 2019,and have essentially been here since, which means that I am considered a resident alien for tax purposes ( I pass the substantial presence test) .

I didn't owe FICA taxes until I transitioned to a resident alien from being a non-resident alien. I wrongly assumed that this transition happens 5 years from the date that I entered the US(which would have been Sep 2024) instead of the 5 calendar years that I was here (which was Jan 2024).

My W2 shows no SS or medicare wages. (boxes 3 and 5 are empty)

I asked my employer for a W2-c to see if that would help but I'm still pretty uncertain.

The form 8919-T calculates an amount that is far above what I actually for FICA taxes (should be 6.2% for SSTaxes and 1.45% for medicare taxes). Instead it shows me an amount that is roughly 5 times that amount in returns. Can you please confirm that the form is not broken? Should I not fill out an amount in "Total Wages Received" when following your steps?
