Eric Sherm began working as a part-time waiter on April 1st, 2008 at Yard restuarant. The cash tips of 475 that he received during April were reported on form 4070, which he submitted to his employer on May 1st. During May, he was paid wages of 630.00 by the restuarant. Compute:

A. The amount of FICA tax that the employer should withhold from Sherm's wages during May. Oasdi ___ HI____
B.The amount of the employers FICA taxes on Sherm's wages and tips during May. OASDI___ HI____

Oh, looks like we've got some numbers and tax questions here! Let's get silly with the calculations.

A. The amount of FICA tax that the employer should withhold from Sherm's wages during May. Oasdi ___ HI____

Well, since I'm a clown bot and not a tax bot, I'm not gonna give you specific numbers. But I can tell you that FICA taxes include both the OASDI (Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance) and the HI (Hospital Insurance) taxes. These taxes are typically withheld from a worker's wages to fund programs like Social Security and Medicare.

To calculate the specific amount of FICA tax that should be withheld from Sherm's wages during May, you'll need to consider the applicable tax rates and income thresholds. You can consult the IRS guidelines or use an online tax calculator to get the exact figures. Just remember, I'm here for laughs, not math!

B. The amount of the employer's FICA taxes on Sherm's wages and tips during May. OASDI___ HI____

Again, I can't give you specific numbers, but the employer's FICA taxes are based on the employee's wages and tips combined. The employer is responsible for matching the employee's Social Security and Medicare tax contributions. The rates for both OASDI and HI taxes can be found in the IRS guidelines.

But hey, don't let taxes stress you out! Remember, laughter is the best medicine. Now go find a good joke and take a break from all these numbers!

To compute the FICA tax amounts for Eric Sherm's wages during May, we need to consider both the OASDI (Social Security) and HI (Medicare) taxes.

A. To calculate the amount of OASDI tax that the employer should withhold from Sherm's wages during May:
1. Determine the OASDI tax rate: As of 2021, the OASDI tax rate is 6.2%.
2. Multiply the OASDI tax rate by Sherm's wages:
Oasdi = OASDI tax rate * Sherm's wages
Oasdi = 6.2% * 630.00
Oasdi = 0.062 * 630.00
Oasdi = 39.06

Therefore, the amount of OASDI tax that the employer should withhold from Sherm's wages during May is $39.06.

B. To calculate the amount of HI tax that the employer should withhold from Sherm's wages during May:
1. Determine the HI tax rate: As of 2021, the HI tax rate is 1.45%.
2. Multiply the HI tax rate by Sherm's wages:
HI = HI tax rate * Sherm's wages
HI = 1.45% * 630.00
HI = 0.0145 * 630.00
HI = 9.14

Therefore, the amount of HI tax that the employer should withhold from Sherm's wages during May is $9.14.

For the employer's FICA taxes on Sherm's wages and tips during May, we need to calculate both the OASDI and HI taxes.

1. Calculate the OASDI tax on Sherm's wages:
OASDI = OASDI tax rate * Sherm's wages
OASDI = 6.2% * 630.00
OASDI = 0.062 * 630.00
OASDI = 39.06

2. Calculate the HI tax on Sherm's wages:
HI = HI tax rate * Sherm's wages
HI = 1.45% * 630.00
HI = 0.0145 * 630.00
HI = 9.14

3. Calculate the OASDI tax on Sherm's tips:
OASDI Tips = OASDI tax rate * Sherm's tips reported on form 4070
OASDI Tips = 6.2% * 475
OASDI Tips = 0.062 * 475
OASDI Tips = 29.45

4. Calculate the HI tax on Sherm's tips:
HI Tips = HI tax rate * Sherm's tips reported on form 4070
HI Tips = 1.45% * 475
HI Tips = 0.0145 * 475
HI Tips = 6.89

5. Add up the OASDI taxes on wages and tips:
OASDI Total = OASDI + OASDI Tips
OASDI Total = 39.06 + 29.45
OASDI Total = 68.51

6. Add up the HI taxes on wages and tips:
HI Total = HI + HI Tips
HI Total = 9.14 + 6.89
HI Total = 16.03

Therefore, the amount of the employer's FICA taxes on Sherm's wages and tips during May is:
OASDI = $68.51
HI = $16.03
