Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You would only owe your portion of Social Security and Medicare tax which is 7.65% of your gross wages, plus income taxes which you would owe anyways. The employer is required to withhold your social security tax and Medicare tax and pay it to the government. They can request that you reimburse them for that (the 7.65%), but they can't compel you to pay it since they didn't withhold it from your pay. You are not required to report it or pay it in when you file your personal tax return.
