    If you have not completed 5-years on F1/CPT, then your income is not subject to FICA taxes. So makes sure that your employer does not withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes.
    You will file nonresident tax return. You will get personal exemption and deductions as per tax treaty. You must pay federal income tax and state income tax, which you will not get back. For nonresident tax filing, read: Your U.S. Tax Return: U.S. Tax Filing Requirements for Non-Residents
