Feedback:
a.
Using the percentage table for semimonthly and single status.
$133,200/24 periods = $5,550.00. One allowance = $175.00.
$5,550.00 - $175.00 = $5,375.00 - $3,667.00 = $1,708.00 x 24% = $409.92 + $599.38 = $1,009.30.
b.
OASDI = $5,550.00 x 6.2% = $344.10 Medicare = $5,550.00 x 1.45% = $80.48
For FICA total = $344.10 + 80.48 = $424.58
c.
For the last pay period only $5,250 of the $5,550 is subject to OASDI; $5,250x 6.2% = $325.50. The entire $5,550 is subject to Medicare tax of 1.45% = $80.48. Therefore,for the last pay period total FICA tax is $405.98.
