Hi,
This might be the question asked every where but I would like to confirm with you guys.
I came to use in 2008 F1 visa. Now I got opt and I got a job - I am no more full time student. My employer say that I have to pay social security and medicare tax. So my question is that tax exempt (social security and medicare) if I were full time student or even working full time in OPT (no more student).
If I opt to 1099 then am I tax exempt which is not the case in W2? - what is major difference between these two.
I would really appreciate your help which will save me lot of money.
