Hi,
I found this forum to be extremely helpful for people like me before! Please answer my following question regarding 2008 Federal tax return related question:
I was in F1 OPT from 01/2008 to 09/2008. I was under H1B status from 10/2008 to 12/2008. I have my W2 and there was no SSN and medicare tax withholding for the entire year.
My spouse was in H1B for entire 2008. She has SSN and medicare tax withholding in her W2.
If we file married filing jointly using form 1040, do I need to pay any extra SSN and medicare tax for 2008 ?
If we file separately which forms should we use? What will happen to SSN and medicare tax in my case?
Thanks a lot in advance!!
