Deductions & credits

As a U.S. green card holder, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., you are by definition a U.S. resident alien, not a nonresident alien.

While certain classes of visa holders who are nonresident aliens may qualify for exceptions from paying Social Security/Medicare taxes, a resident alien performing services in the U.S. as an employee is liable for U.S. Social Security and Medicare taxes, just the same as a U.S. citizen.

For more information, please see the following IRS guide, "Alien Liability for Social Security and Medicare Taxes of Foreign Teachers, Foreign Researchers, and Other Foreign Professionals":
