    Tax help for opt students
    I am a contractor on OPT and have been in the US for less than 5 years. My country of citizenship is India.

    My employer has deducted FICA and CA Dis from my pay. I know that I need not pay these taxes as I am on OPT - can I ask for a refund now or wait till I file my taxes next year ?

    Do I need to pay CA Dis also ?

    You must pay the California disability.

    Ask your employer to Refund the FICA tax.
