Wage and tax statement data on employer FICA 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 2019, 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 lax at the rate of 1.5%. 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:
