Deductions & credits

Can you please clarify whether FICA will be owed in case of a 6013(h) election?

It seems some responses in this thread claim that yes and others no.

I'm in a similar situation where I was on a j-1 visa (AT, somewhat similar to OPT, is exempt from paying FICA) and switched to a green card mid October (not exempt obviously).

 

I'm unsure whether choosing this election will only effect me in my federal and state taxes, or also force me to pay FICA. 

 

Thank you!
