Hi,
I entered US in the middle of 2005 on the F-1 visa.
During my OPT (Jan 1 to Sep. 30, 2008), my employer didn't withhold my Social Security Tax and Medicare.
My H-1B took effect since Oct. 1,2008, and SS/med has been withheld since then.
Now I plan to fill extension for 2008 tax return and claim resident alien for tax purpose for 2008, so I was wondering if I will be asked to pay Social Security Tax and Medicare during OPT (Jan 1 to Sep. 30, 2008).
Thanks very much!!
