Information Regarding Pay from the Company on OPT!

[kailash174]

Hello! I started working for a start-up company very recently on my OPT in California.

I wanted to know if I have to pay "Social Security", "Medicare" & "Disability Ins" taxes while on OPT along with Federal & State taxes(Mandatory)?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

No you don't have to. Look for F-visas (Practical Training Students) in this: http://www.irs.gov/...

If u r not here for 5 years then u dont have to pay .. if u r employer payroll system does not have to this option then at the yr end file 843 & 8316 for refund ..

No you don't have to .. But some employer are not aware of it. So u can tell your supervisor and they will refund you all the money
