Tax: F1 and H1B filing jointly

Mar 23 3 Comments

I am working on F1 OPT and my spouse is on H1B. Do I need to pay back social security tax, when filed jointly (married)?

    Ask your tax advisor. Do not rely on blind for such scenarios.

    Though afaik you can not file jointly given you both have different status and you will have to use different forms to file.

    Unless you pass residency test and you’re also eligible for file as resident alien then you can file jointly and in that case you have to pay social security tax regardless.

    • I think if their spouse is resident alien then op can be considered as same and they can file jointly.

      But yeah better to get advice from your tax advisor.
      I’m in the same boat and filling jointly.
