Hi,

I am an international student since October of 2007 and just got my Associate's Degree. I applied for my OPT and I'll be starting my job on January 25, 2010. My International Student counselor told me I'm exempted from Social Security taxes and Medicare taxes, and I need to fill out a FICA form. I went to www.irs.gov but wasn't able to find the FICA exeption form... Can you help me with that? Is there any link I can go to download this form? Thank you in advance!

Go back to Internal Revenue Service (http://www.irs.gov) and download IRS Pub 519 for 2008 (latest available edition).

The provisions for your exemption from FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes can be found on pages 50 - 51.
