F1 to H1B - Did not pay SS and Medicare for 2 months!
Here is my situation,
I was on Student visa from Jan 2007 to Oct 2007 and H1B from 1st Nov 2007 to Dec 2007. I forgot to inform my employer about my status change from F1 to H1B and hence they did not cut my Social Security and Medicare for Nov - Dec 2007.
2006 filling status: Files Married jointly (my husband is on H1B for whole period)
1. How much I will be liable for and what I can do to correct this situation ?
2. Still can I claim standard deduction for the year 2007 as I was on OPT till Oct 2007 ?
I have earned $41K - F1 status (OPT)
$8K - H1B
I would really appriciate if any one can clarify this. I would like to provide more info if anyone needs.
Thanks a lot in advance.
