Question
Are F-1 students exempt from FICA?
AI accountant’s answer:
Yes, F-1 visa students are generally exempt from FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare taxes) while they maintain their nonresident alien status for tax purposes. This exemption applies as long as they are working under practical training (such as Curricular Practical Training or Optional Practical Training) or are employed on-campus within the limits set by their visa status. However, if an F-1 student's status changes or if they no longer meet the requirements for the exemption, they may become subject to FICA taxes.
