What Is FICA and Why Should Students Be Exempt?

FICA taxes — covering Social Security and Medicare — are automatically withheld from employee paychecks in the U.S. But international students on F-1, J-1, M-1, or Q-1 visas are generally exempt from these taxes for a certain period.

However, many employers wrongly deduct FICA taxes from student paychecks. If this happened to you, Grand Tax Filers will help recover every dollar — even for past years.

Why Act Now on Your FICA Refund
