Employer payroll taxes are recorded separately


The payroll of Delaney Company for September 2010 is as follows. Total payroll was $480,000, of which $140,000 is exempt from Social Security tax because it represented amounts paid in excess of $102,000 to certain employees. The amount paid to employees in excess of $7,000 was $410,000. Income taxes in the amount of $80,000 were withheld, as was $9,000 in union dues. The state unemployment tax is 3.5%, but Delaney Company is allowed a credit of 2.3% by the state for its unemployment experience. Also, assume that the current F.I.C.A. tax is 7.65% on an employee's wages to $102,000 and 1.45% in excess of $102,000. No employee for Delaney makes more than $125,000. The federal unemployment tax rate is 0.8% after state credit.
