Most work visa holders pay the same federal and state income taxes as U.S. citizens.

They also usually pay Social Security and Medicare unless exempt under a tax treaty.

Tax filing status depends on whether they are considered “resident” or “nonresident” for tax purposes.

Immigrants on work visas generally pay federal, state, and local income taxes, plus Social Security and Medicare, just like U.S. workers.
