I worked for a foreign government and shouldn't pay FICA taxes. Where and how exactly will I be able to remove this in my form? I've been to "sch SE" and are lost..

[MichaelL1]

Did you get a W-2 and had FICA taxes withheld or not withheld?

[maximusmatte]

No, I just got a paper with my income and that I shouldn't pay nor Social Security or Medicare. If I should have been an American Citizen, I would have been eligible to participate in the Social Security system.

Nothing withheld, nor taxes or FICA.

[MichaelL1 · Accepted solution]

You are an employee so the wages should be reported like a W-2.

Do a substitute W-2 with the income and nothing in medicare or FICA boxes.  After the W-2 is entered, there is box under:

Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W-2 and you will:

X Foreign or international organization

X substitute W-2 if it is not a W-2 you have gotten.

Note: You have to work in the U. S. for the foreign country to qualify for this.
