I am a student visa holder, and my employer deducted Social Security and Medicare (FICA) taxes. Do I need to pay these taxes?

The Internal Revenue Code grants an exemption from social security and Medicare taxes to nonimmigrant students in F-1 status. The exemption period of the F-1 visa is five years from the date of their arrival in the US.
