Question: I am not getting a correct answer for the LLC under FICA tax that Dave pays Problem 1 5 - 6 1 ( LO 1

I am not getting a correct answer for the LLC under FICA tax that Dave pays Problem 15-61(LO 15-3)(Algo)
Dave and his friend Stewart each owns 50 percent of KBS. During the year, Dave received \(\$ 97,000\) compensation for services he performed for KBS during the year. He performed a significant amount of work for the entity, and he was heavily involved in management decisions for the entity (he was not a passive investor in KBS). After deducting Dave's compensation, KBS reported taxable income of \$38,800.
How much FICA and/or self-employment tax is Dave required to pay on his compensation and his share of the KBS income if KBS is formed as a C corporation, an S corporation, or a limited liability company (taxed as a partnership)(ignore the 0.9 percent additional Medicare tax)? How much FICA tax would the entity be required to pay on the compensation paid to Dave?
Note: Do not round any percentage calculations. Round other intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.
Answer is complete but not entirely correct.
