My home country is Indonesia
I don't pay social security and medicare tax since I am on OPT and do not meet substantial presence test (4 years in USA).
But once I get my H1B approved in October, I will start paying social security tax and medicare (resident alien).
To sum it up:
Jan 08-Sept 08 - NOT paying social security and medicare tax (non resident alien on OPT)
Oct 08-Dec 08 - paying social security and medicare tax (resident alien on H1B)
What form do I use to file my taxes? I am guessing it's only 1 form: the 1040 (for the resident?)
Please advise. Thank you so much!
