Hello,

I am on H1B. My payroll dept forgot to deduct my social and medicare taxes from my paycheck AND it continued to deduct taxes as per F1. So do I need to pay my medicare and social now with 2005 tax returns?

If yes

How should I pay those taxes, which forms should I use?


Thanks

You do not have to pay these taxes.

The withholding of Social Security and Medicare taxes from the employee is the sole responsibility of the employer. If he fails to do it, the employer becomes responsible to pay both the employer's and the employee's share of the Social Security and Medicare taxes.

The only way you can be held responsible is if you failed to notify your employer of your visa status change from F-1 to H-1B.
