What is the total FICA Student Exemption about?

  1. Exemption for students studying medicine

  2. Exemption for students under 21 years

  3. Exemption for students employed by a school and attending the school

  4. Exemption for students working in government offices

The correct answer is: Exemption for students employed by a school and attending the school

The FICA Student Exemption is a type of tax exemption that applies to students who are employed by a school and also attending that same school. This exemption is specific to this scenario and does not apply to other fields of study or employment. Choice A is incorrect because it only applies to students studying medicine, not students in general. Choice B is incorrect because it is a general age requirement that does not specifically pertain to employment by a school. Choice D is incorrect because it only pertains to working in government offices, not specifically working and attending a school. Therefore, choice C is the most appropriate answer as it accurately captures the intended purpose of the FICA Student Exemption.
