Hi,
My H-1B started from Oct 1, 2007 and my OPT expired on 01/12/2008. My employer did not deduct any Social Security/ Medicare taxes so far from any of my pay-stubs. My questions are:
1. what are the consequences of not paying the above mentioned taxes for 4 months?(My employer is going to start deducting those taxes from February 08 onwards)
2. Is there any way my employer can "now" pay the SS/Medicare taxes together for the period of 10/01/2007 to 01/01/2008?
Please help! How do I handle this situation?
Regards,
Sonali
