Social security & medicare tax was not withheld from my paycheck because I have J1 Visa. I do meet the IRS presence test to file as a resident. Does me not paying social security taxes prohibit me from filing as resident. Or the using residency when filing income tax return is only for income tax purposes only, so I can still do it (file as resident)?
