Identify the IRC code sections that define the Social Security rate of 6.2 for employees (EE) and employers (ER) and the Medicare rate of 1.45% and .9% for employees and 1.45% employers. Make sure to use proper IRC citations by starting with IRC and then reference the correct #s, lower case letters, upper case letters, etc. and in the correct order.
