    As an international student, you are exemption from FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes.

    More than likely, if taxes were withheld, you wkill get a Form W-2.

    If NO taxes were withheld, then you will get a Form 1099-MISC.

    Either form is legal.

    If you need professional tax help with this, email me at [email protected].
