I am F1-visa student. Currently I am working using CPT program. I leave in US for two years. And I am working the same company for two years. Starting from January, 2007 they ask me if I am a citizen for tax purpose and have to pay social security and Medicare taxes. They also sent this link to me. Even though I leave more than 150 days in USA, Am I considering as citizen for tax purpose??

Link to Publication 519: IRS.gov Search Results (http://search.irs.gov/web/query.html?col=allirs&charset=utf-8&qp=&qs=-Wct%3A%22Internal+Revenue+Manual%22&qc=&qm=0&rf=0&oq=&qt=519)

Martha:

If your total visa time for F-1 and J-1 exceeds five years, then you are considered a resident alien and are subject to ALL the taxes that U.S. citizens pay.

When did your F-1 visa start?
