Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, that is not correct.  Your employer is responsible for fixing it.  

 

When you were on a F visa and have not met the five years exempt period of time, you were not required to pay FICA taxes.  See link here: Who is exempt

 

However, if in the year 2020, your status has changed and you have become a resident for tax purposes, you are required to pay FICA taxes. 

 

If you were required to pay FICA taxes and your employer did not withhold it, I would suggest you communicate with your employer to resolve the issues.  They might need to issue you a corrected 2020 W-2 thus you may need to amend your tax return later. 

 

You would need to contact your employer to fix it.  If they were not being co-operative, I will suggest you to contact the IRS.
