Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate FICA - Social Security tax
The cumulative gross pay through August 31 is $6,200 and September gross pay is $1,600. The total cumulative pay ($6,200 + $1,600 = $7,800) is still below the $137,700 limit for Social - Security tax. So, the FICA - Social Security tax is calculated as 6.2% of the September gross pay. $1,600\times0.062=$99.20$.
Step2: Calculate FICA - Medicare tax
The FICA - Medicare tax is 1.45% of the gross pay. For September's gross pay of $1,600, the FICA - Medicare tax is $1,600\times0.0145 = $23.20$.
Step3: Calculate FUTA tax
The cumulative pay through September ($6,200 + $1,600 = $7,800) is above the $7,000 limit for FUTA tax. So, the FUTA tax is calculated on the amount up to the limit. Since the pay through August 31 is $6,200, the additional amount subject to FUTA in September is $[SSE Completed, Client Connection Error][SSE onError error]
