PR 11-3A Wage and tax statement data on employer FIICA tax
Ehrlich Co. began business on January 2, 20Y8. 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 20Y9, before the Wage and Tax Statements (Form W-2) could be
prepared for distribution to employees and for filing with the Social Security Administra-
tion, 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%. Data on dates of employment, salary rates, and em-
ployees' income taxes withheld, which are summarized as follows, were obtained from
personnel records and payroll records:
