    Ssn medicare tax are not deducted
    HELLO,

    I am on H1B visa from October 2008, but in my paychecks or in W2 I don't see any SSN or Medicare taxes?

    When we are on H1B visa I heard that we have SSN and Medicare taxes, but I don't see that in my paystubs?

    Will that be my fault or my employer's fault?

    Please help I don't know what to do now?
    From where can we check our status?



    Thanks

    Yes, it is employer's fault. You must pay SS tax and Medicare tax on your H1-B income.
    Talk to your employer. Make sure that your employer start deducting these taxes from Jan 2009.
