Current Attempt in Progress

The payroll of Tamarisk Company for September $2025$ is as follows.

Total payroll was $$502,000,$ of which $$102,000$ is exempt from Social Security tax because it represented amounts paid in excess of $$142,800$ to certain employees. The amount paid to employees in excess of $$7,000($the maximum for both federal and state unemployment taxes$)$ was $$366,000.$ Income taxes in the amount of $$77,900$ were withheld, as was $$9,300$ in union dues. The state unemployment tax is $3\mathrm{.}5\%,$ but Tamarisk Company is allowed a credit of $2\mathrm{.}3\%$ by the state for its unemployment experience. Also, assume that the current FICA tax is $7\mathrm{.}65\%$ on an employee's wages to $$142,800$ and $1\mathrm{.}45\%$ in excess of $$142,800.$ The federal unemployment tax rate is $0\mathrm{.}8\%$ after state credit.
