Walter worked a total of 184 hours in May all of which are regular hours. No overtime was worked this entire month. Earnings are subject to 6% social security tax and 1.5% Medicare tax. The federal income tax withheld from each employee?s payroll check for the month is as follows: Tom - $547.00; Walter - $112.00; Thomas - $268.00. Also, don?t forget about the employer match and unemployment taxes. Make a journal entry. The federal unemployment rate is 0.8% and the state unemployment rate is 5.4%.
