What should I do if my employer didn't deduct FICA taxes for me?

Currently, I just noticed that I should be the resident alien instead of non-resident alien as the cumulative time I stayed in U.S. is more than 5 years. However, my previous employer didn't deduct FICA taxes for in 2019 (they didn't ask me if I'm RA either). Now, it's the tax season, what should I do when I submit tax forms?

You will need to file Form 4852. Click on this article to learn how to enter this in TurboTax. It is in the Wages & Income section and are part of the uncommon situations: How do I file a substitute W-2 using Form 4852?

 

Resident aliens still have the same liability for Social Security/Medicare Taxes as U.S. Citizens. Click on this IRS link for international taxpers to learn more.
