Hi,

I am on L1 visa type to US at Florida.My duration of stay is around 3.5 months only .
Can anybody please clarify my doubts regarding the tax that I incur being at US:

Since I am at L1 , am I supposed to Pay

1. Social Security Tax

2.Medicare Tax

3.Federal Tax.

I came know for Visa Type L1 , one shouldn't be paying "Social Security Tax" and "Medicare Tax".

Please clarify my doubt.

Regards
Robin

Robin:

Is your pay coming from a U.S.-based company or a foreign-based company?

If foreign-based, you may be totally exempt from taxes.
