Visa changed from F1-OPT to H1B

Hello,
In 2024, I  was working on F1-OPT visa which exempted me from FICA taxes. My status changed to H1B in October 2024 .  The company's  payroll did not deduct FICA tax from October - December 2024 paychecks. 
They rectified this by withholding FICA tax (for October - December 2024) from my January 2025 paycheck. 
Now, the w2 I have received does not include the FICA paid in January (for October - December 2024).
Do I need to request another w2? 

Is there anything else that I need to keep in mind while filing my taxes? 

 

Appreciate the help. Thankyou!

Probably not, but you may want to double-check with your employer.   How you file your taxes is dependent on your tax residency status.   TurboTax can handle filing your Form 1040, but not Form 1040-NR.  

 

Can I file Form 1040 or do I need Form 1040-NR?

 

Although TurboTax doesn't support IRS Form 1040-NR (U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return), we have partnered with Sprintax to offer both federal and state tax preparation for international students, scholars, and nonresident foreign professionals.

Please visit the TurboTax/Sprintax site for more info.
