    Taxes for OPT
    Hi,

    No FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes are due because you are a student on a F-1 visa.

    The only taxes you will pay is federal and Virginia state income taxes. $7 for every $50 sounds like the FEDERAL tax withholding. Virginia should be about 4% ($2 per $50).

    Before the first week of Feb 2012 you will get Form W-2 from your employer. It will have info about your wages and income taxes withheld. Based on W-2 and any other income, you will file your federal and state income tax return. For federal income tax return you will use Form 1040NR or 1040NR-EZ and Form 8843.
