Hi,
my employer did not withhold any Fica taxes from my paycheck for the last 2 yrs, because he thought that being me under OPT visa, i was exempt.
But due the fact i have been living in the US for more than 10 yrs now, i was eligible and expected to pay FICA taxes even if under OPT visa.
After i realize this, i went to him asking how we can fix the error, and he said it was too late and refused to adjust my FICA taxes, so i'm now basically losing 2 yrs of social security contribution.
Any idea on what my options are?
i live in New York.
Thank you
