My employer did not withhold any FICA taxes from my wages last year because they had incorrectly listed me "Exempt" in their system.

My employer is not willing to provide me with a corrected W2-C form and have asked me to settle this matter with the IRS.

What forms should I use to report my portion of FICA taxes and make the payment?

I don't beleive they can correct the W-2. Once the end of the year occurred, they might have a limited amount of time to fix such errors, but certainly not 3 months.

I see. Do you know which forms I should use to report my portion of FICA taxes?

You will punch your W2 into the software you use and it will calculate it for you. You will probably owe.

My W2 is blank for social security wages and medicare wages. I think because of that the software (I used TurboTax) did not calculate the FICA tax for me.

Your W-2 is blank because your employer got something wrong.

I don't know how to undeclare exempt. Did you try a google search?

I do suggest walking into an IRS Taxpayers Assistance Center...if there's one convenient. 25 years ago there was one a quarter mile from where I worked. I don't work there anymore, and the IRS vacated that building.

I was able to talk to my employer and they have unmarked me as exempt for the current year, so that is not my problem.

I am now trying to figure out what forms I should use to report the FICA taxes on my tax return and make appropriate payment.
