PR 10-3A Wage and tax statement data on employer FICA tax
Ehrlich Co. began business on January 2. Salaries were paid to employees on the last day of
each month, and social security tax, Medicare tax, and federal income tax were withheld in
the required amounts. An employee who is hired in the middle of the month receives half
the monthly salary for that month. All required payroll tax reports were filed, and the cor-
rect amount of payroll taxes was remitted by the company for the calendar year. Early in the
following year, before the Wage and Tax Statements (Form W-2) could be prepared for dis-
tribution to employees and for filing with the Social Security Administration, the employees'
earnings records were inadvertently destroyed.
None of the employees resigned or were discharged during the year, and there were no changes
in salary rates. The social security tax was withheld at the rate of 6.0% and Medicare tax at the rate
of 1.5% on salary. Data on dates of employment,…
