    State Tax and Medicare decution issue
    Hi,

    I am here on H1b with family (2kids) from Feb 11 2008. When I saw my first pay slip I did saw there SST & Medicare was deducted (not the Federal & State Tax). When I asked about that my company account person told that my income on that period is well below the taxable amount (worked only for 1 week). But from the second pay slips (till now 4 pay slips) I see Federal & state tax got deducted but not the SST and Medicare, when I question about this my company accountant told that I don't have to pay SST & Medicare because I am on H1b. I did verified with few of my friends working on H1b, every one says I have to pay SST, Medicare, Federal and State Tax. When I shared this information with my company account person, he/she still stands on his/her own words (no medicare and SST for h1b). I am really confused with these tax issues. I don't want to get into issues at later stage because didn't paid my taxes properly. Can any one guide me on the taxes in have to pay and what are the exemptions I am eligible for. Thanks in advance.
