Hi, Sir,
I am here under J-1 trainee visa. I am non-resident alien for tax filing purpose.
My employer did not withhold social security tax or medicare tax based on my visa status and my employee status.
I am going to file with 1040NR-EZ (with Form 8843) and am now stuck with the column16 (unreported social security tax and medicare tax) of 1040NR-EZ.
In that column, can I still put zero(0) and simply file 1040NR-EZ with Form 8843 because I do not have to pay social security tax?
Or
Do I need to file form 8819 (then I need to pick up the reason code of G which leads me to file form ss-8)?
Thank you very much in advance.
