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 correct 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 distribution
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, salary rates, and employees'
income taxes withheld, which are summarized as follows, were obtained
from personnel records and payroll records:
