    You will file nonresident tax return (just like J1) but you must pay FICA taxes.

    Thanks.
    My situation is:
    I am a citizen of Peoples Republic of China with J2 visa. I was told by someone I don't need to pay FICA taxes for 2 years.
    Is that correct?
    Many Thanks.

    You should call IRS and find out. My understanding is that you must pay FICA taxes if you work on J2.

    Mukata is correct; FICA taxes are due.
