I have a 1099-misc for which I should file form 4137 which computes Social security tax and Medicare tax. As F-1 student, I should not pay those. What should I do? File the formm 4137 with my 1040NR and write 0 o lines 10 and 11? How do I explain that? Write a note that I should be exempt?
Thanks!

Kalimero:

Agree that, as a F-1 student, you are exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes.

Hence, Form 4137 is not required in your case.

You do not need to explain this anywhere on Form 1040NR. Once the IRS notes your F-1 visa status, they will know that no Social Security and Medicare taxes are due.
