An employee received a paycheck from her employer in the amount of $776.35. The pay-check stub indicated that in calculating her $776.35 net pay, $139.75 had been withheld for federal income tax, $34.25 for state income tax, and $74. 65 for FICA. Assuming that the employer had to match her share of FICA tax, and in addition had to pay unemployment insurance tax of $40.05.
I need to prepare a journal entries that record these transaction. I am confused should the FICA tax be doubled because the employer matched her share?
