AOS from J1 to permanent resident: start paying FICA?
Hello,
I'm in the process of changing my status from a J1 (student visa) to a
permanent resident alien status (married to US citizen) while residing
here in the US.
Since I was working under a J1 visa, I did not pay FICA. I only paid
Federal Income Tax (we have no state tax). My questions:
1. Do I need to inform my employer to start taking out FICA now that
I'm changing my status?
2. What's the penalty for not paying FICA?
All your help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Rob
