Get your taxes done using TurboTax

From one of my fellow tax experts:

 

Elections to be treated as a Resident do not affect being subject to FICA, so there would not any retroactive FICA owed.  You must become a Resident on your own to fall out of the FICA exemption.

 

So it should not affect your FICA.
