Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@MK3386 

Do you still need help on this ?

In general

(a) if your  tax status for the tax year 2023 and 2024 is indeed Non-Resident ( and filing form 1040-NR), then your are taxed by the USA ONLY on your US based income.  So any foreign earnings are not reportable / taxable by the USA.

(b) FICA tax exemption is not based on whether you are a tax resident or not -- it is generally exempted for persons in training  such as students/ OPT/CPT etc.  You can also escape SECA  ( the  FICA equivalent for considered self-employed ) if you are participating in Social Security Equivalent ( of your home country in your case ) if , and only if ,  US and  that country has a totalization agreement in effect --- thus you pay only to one country.

(c) A point to consider , the Swiss pillar 3a, being a  private and not mandatory, can be classed by USA as a PFIC, thus requiring gain/ earnings recognition yearly.  This depends on the entity that you are investing in .

 

Is there more I can do for you ?
