Employer did not withhold FICA for 2024 for me, a resident alien.

Hello, my employer did not withhold FICA for 2024 and my W2 box 3 and 4 are empty. They were not interested in providing me a corrected W2 either for 2024. I searched on how to file my taxes correctly and found this post (https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/fica-taxes-mistakenly-not-withheld-by-employer/00/2978154) where a turbotax expert has provided a set of steps to follow. I had to purchase Turbotax since following these steps required me to get a paid version. However, just like another turbotax user (vishalkam) on that post, following those steps calculates a Federal tax due of about 4 to 5 times of what FICA should actually be for me. I am unsure how to proceed forward with this problem. Can anyone help on this please ? Thank you.

To look at this in detail, we would like to see a diagnostic copy of your return. The information in this file is a sanitized copy meaning there is no personal information, only numbers so that we can troubleshoot in depth, check for calculation issues, and to see how certain items are applied. Here is how to order.

For Turbo Tax online, go to tax tools>tools>share my file with agent. When this is selected, you will receive a token number. Respond back in this thread and tell us what that token number is.

If you use the desktop version, go to the black stripe at the top of the program, click on online, and then select send tax file to agent. Let us know what the token number is.
