*The cost of excess group-term life insurance is added to gross wages for federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare. Employers withhold OASDI and HI tax on these amounts but are not required to withhold federal income tax. The cost is not added to gross wages for state and local taxes; therefore, it is not subject to those taxes (See Figure 4.8).

**State unemployment tax withheld for Pennsylvania labeled as PA SUI on Form W-2 Box 14.

If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

As we go to press, the federal income tax rates for 2022 are being determined by budget talks in Washington and not available for publication. For this edition, the 2021 federal income tax tables for Manual Systems with Forms W-4 from 2020 or Later with Standard Withholding and 2021 FICA rates have been used.
