Instructions to perform this task is as follows: Determine the employer's Social Security and Medicare taxes by simply matching what was withheld for the month for both taxes. In other words the employer must duplicate what was withheld from the employees for each of these two taxes. Also, the employee must recognize both the federal and state unemployment liabilities in this entry. The state rate is 3.1% and the federal rate is 0.8%. While both of these taxes are based on taxable ceilings of year-to-date gross wages, neither tax (ferderal or state) ceiling will be exceed- ed during the first three months of payroll, therefore consider all wages as unemployment taxable. After determing the tax amounts, record all four employer taxes as individual liabilities, and show the total sum of all four amounts as "Payroll Tax Expense".
