Hi Tax Expert,
I was a student on F1 visa for one year up to August 2008. Since October 1, I am working in a US firm on F1 OPT visa sponsored by the US university I attended. My question is: Am I exempt from Medicare, Social Security, Federal and State taxes? I am a citizen of Ireland. I know that there is a tax treaty in place, I am not sure if it provides me with full exemption.
Thank you.
