Deductions & credits
I apologize. I meant to say you would report this income on your 1040 tax return as a resident alien since it was earned in 2022. According to this link, if your employer will not correct this for you, you do have the responsibility of reporting your FICA taxes because you weren't exempt in 2021 and 2022.
Now to report FICA taxes that weren't withheld, here is how to report although it may not seem easy. You will need to report this first as Self-Employed income by going to federal>wages and income>self-employment>self employment income. Once here, you will handle generic questions about your business (which isn't a business).
- In the first box, just briefly explain what your work was.
- When you get to the page where it asks, how this work fits into the main picture, mention it is your main source of income.
- For the next few screens, answer these questions no and that income is not subject to the Dept of Transportation. Once you are out of the profile page, it will mention Let's enter the income for your ss work. Here check Other self-employed income, includes cash and checks. Once entered, press continue at the bottom of the page. Don't attempt to enter any expenses as these will not apply in this reporting.
- Under type of income, put in W2 income subject to FICA taxes and then the amount from your 2022 W2.
Now since this income is already reported and you paid federal tax from it, you will need to exclude the income already claimed for federal income tax purposes so the FICA taxes will only be assessed. Here is how to do it.
- Go to Wages & Income
- Scroll all the way down to Less Common Income
- Select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C from the drop-down
- Select Other reportable income
- Any Other Taxable Income? = Yes
- Description = Excluded W2 income that was reported for FICA purpose
- Now enter the amount you reported in the steps above with a minus sign in front of the income amount. This is will exclude this income from being taxed twice. Remember you are reporting this only for FICA purposes.
Now, you will need to amend your 2021 return using the steps I have just described. To amend your 2021 return using Turbo Tax online;
- Sign in to TurboTax
- On the home screen, scroll down to Your tax returns & documents and select the year you want to amend. if you filed a 2021 using TT online, the return should be listed.
- Select Amend (change) return, then Amend using TurboTax Online
- On the screen OK, let's get a kickstart on your amended return, select the reason(s) you're amending and Continue
- When you reach Here's the info for your amended federal return, select Start next to the info you need to change
- Continue through the screens, make the changes you need to make, and carefully answer the remaining questions to finish amending your return.
- i repeat, use the same steps I described above claiming this as self-employed income and then excluding the income so it doesn't get reported twice for federal income tax purposes.
