The amount of money paid in FICA taxes is 2208.1. Option D
How do we find how much was paid in FICA taxes?
"FICA taxes" refers to the combination of Social Security tax and Medicare tax that is withheld from an individual's wages.
On a W-2 form, these are reported separately:
- Social Security tax withheld is typically found in box 4.
- Medicare tax withheld is typically found in box 6.
we would sum the amounts in box 4 and box 6 to determine the total amount paid in FICA taxes.
Total FICA taxes = Social Security tax + Medicare tax
Total FICA taxes = 1789.57 + 418.53
Total FICA taxes = 2208.1
