Tax_2009

I have been on F-1 for more than five years (since 2002) which means that I am considered a resident alien for tax purposes. However, no FICA taxes were deducted from my paycheck. My status changed to H-1B on Oct 1, 2008. Again, no FICA taxes were deducted. Any solution? I read that I could use form 4317 to report Medicare and Social Security taxes. However, box 3 of my W-2 (Social Security wages) and box 5 (Medicare wages) are blank. I am confused. How do I report/pay the taxes?
