Hey Team

I'm on a H1B so I am supposed to pay Medicare and SS taxes, but my employer has not withheld anything- my hnr block advisor caught that but she just completed my returns assuming I don't have to pay those taxes

What is the right protocol in this case? Do I owe SS and fica taxes?

No treaty

Contact your HR or Payroll and ask for the basis upon which they did not withhold FICA taxes.  That will give you the starting point. It could’ve been an applicable totalization agreement, or they could have (mis)applied one of the many exceptions in section 3121(a) or (b).

They can back withhold these taxes and then send you a corrected W2. They did that to me in March or April, which is conveniently after I filed my tax, ended up amending tax return with the new W2.

Hi, can someone tell me if I need to manually claim higher rate tax relief on Accenture UK workplace pension e.g. via self assessment? I had assumed it was all taken care of out of the pay packet as it’s a net pay scheme but I have a financial advisor telling me otherwise. It’ll be the first I ever heard about it if so…guess I’ve lost a load of money…???

New Jersey partnership question.

Partnerships need to use market sourcing for purposes of calculating NR withholding tax (though NJ doesn't even call this withholding anymore).

However, for purposes of calculating the NJ distributive share of income, you apply Gross Income Tax (personal income tax) rules, which is 3 factor and includes COP.

If I end up with 0% apportionment under GIT and 10% apportionment under CBT (withholding tax), the partnership pays tax upfront but NRs get 100% refund?
