Required Payroll Records

1. Employee personal information– Name– Address– Social Security number– Date of birth

2. Data on wage payments– Dates and amounts of payments – Payroll periods

3. Amount of taxable wages paid– Dates and amounts earned year to date for the calendar

year involved

4. Amount of taxes withheld for each employee by pay period

Page 6: Chapter Eight

Accounting Is Fun! 8 - 6

Calendar Year

• A twelve-month period beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 of the same year

Page 7: Chapter Eight

Employees and Independent Contractors

• Employee– Under “direction and control” of employer

• Independent contractor– Someone who is engaged for a definite job or

service– Not under “direction and control” of employer– Decides how to do his or her own work

Payroll• In earlier chapters we have seen:

• The $1,400.00 is really gross pay before deductions• Gross pay (or earnings)

– Total amount before deductions

• Deductions– Amounts taken out of an employee’s paycheck each pay period

• “Take home pay” or net pay– Gross pay minus deductions

Page 27: Chapter Eight

Accounting Is Fun! 8 - 27

Basis of Federal Income Tax Withholding

• Taxable earnings– The amount of an

employee’s earnings subject to a tax

• Marital status

• Number of withholding allowances claimed

• Withholding allowance– Amount of earnings that

are exempt from federal income tax

– How many?• One for personal

• One for spouse

• One for each dependent

• Exemption– Amount of yearly

earnings that are not taxed

Page 28: Chapter Eight

Accounting Is Fun! 8 - 28

Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate (Form W-4)

• A form that specifies the number of allowances claimed by each employee

• Gives the employer the authority to withhold money for an employee’s federal income taxes and FICA taxes

• Must be filled out by every employee

Page 29: Chapter Eight

Circular E

• Actual book or downloadable files to use in spreadsheet or accounting program provided free of charge by IRS to employers

• Contains withholding tables– Federal income tax– FICA

• Social Security• Medicare

• Lists rules for employer’s deposits• Lists requirements for submitting reports

Page 31: Chapter Eight

Accounting Is Fun! 8 - 31

Wage-Bracket Tax Tables

• Tables providing the amounts to be deducted for income taxes based on earnings, marital status, and number of allowances claimed

• Payment periods covered– Monthly– Semimonthly– Biweekly– Weekly– Daily

Page 32: Chapter Eight

Accounting Is Fun! 8 - 32

Using the Tables to Determine Deductions

• Step 1: Select correct table for payment period and marital status

• Step 2: Locate gross pay in first two columns• Step 3: Find column for number of

withholding allowances• Intersection shows amount of federal income

tax to withhold from paycheck• Be careful of:

– “At least”– “But less than”

Page 33: Chapter Eight

State Income Tax Withholding

• State tablesor

• Percentage of federal income tax deduction– Textbook assumes that employee’s state

income tax deduction is 20% of the federal income tax deduction

Page 34: Chapter Eight

FICA Taxes

• Social Security Taxes

• Federal taxes levied on employees and employers

• Proceeds used for– Pension payments

after a worker has reached 62 years

– Disability benefits for disabled worker and dependents

• Medicare Taxes• Federal taxes levied

on employees and employers

• Proceeds used for medical insurance for eligible people age 65 or over

Page 35: Chapter Eight

Accounting Is Fun! 8 - 35

FICA Taxes

• Social Security rate = 6.2%(number equivalent = .062)– Only the first $84,900 of earnings are taxed

• Medicare rate = 1.45%(number equivalent = .0145)– All earnings are taxed

• Applied to gross earnings during a calendar year

• Calculated separately because of the different upper limits for two types of taxes
