Hi,
I am currently in H-1B visa. My employer is not cutting any SSN or Medicare taxes in my pay check. Before H-1 I was on my OPT. I wanted to know if the SSN and Medicare taxes are paid half by the employee and half by the employer.. Is this right ? And since my employer is not cutting any SSN and medicare now, at the end of year will I have to pay the whole amount and my employer does not need to pay any portion of his 50% ? Is this kind of trick played by my employer ? Please advise on this in detail.
Or is it like the employer is going to pay the whole 100% of ssn and medicare tax at the end of year and also should I ask my employer to start deducting the SSN and medicare taxes ? And what is the actual percentage of that tax. And also I am from Tennessee and no state tax will this have any effect to ssn and medicare tax ?

Thanks
