    I’ve had a few requests for April/May Study Groups…March will be here before you know it.

    In order to take an early April exam, you should begin studying…now. 🙂

    Why did you not show the choices of possible answers?

    I am not sure of my answer below, so I will appreciate if someone can check/correct it. Thanks.

    Total Payroll Tax Liability:

    Tax Withheld >>>>>>>>>>>> $1,200

    FICA Tax (($10,000 x 14%) > $1,400

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $2,600

    Payroll Tax Expense:

    Total Wages >>>>>>>>>>>> $10,000

    Employer Share >>>>>>>>> x 7%

    FICA Tax Exp – Employer >> $ 700

    Oops, sorry,

    Options were:

    a. Liab = $1,900 Expense = $700

    b. Liab = $2,600 Expense = $700

    c. Liab = $1,900 Expense = $1,400

    d. Liab = $1,200 Expense = $1,400

    The correct answer is B.

    @Amor, you were correct. Can you explain to me why we're increasing the liability by the income tax withheld of $1,200. I can understand the logic that the 7% of EE and ER portion of tax should be liability, but why the $1,200?

    Remember when our employers deduct our wages for our taxes every payday? They withhold them and remit them to IRS later. These collections become their tax accountability.

    @CPAMommy, Good Morning! How's it goin?

    @23K, sorry, my kids were crazy last night so I didnt get to respond last night… My scores are gradually getting better. I read a section then work on the MCQ's and then after I do another section go back and work more. We're pretty much on the same timeline, I notice you're sitting 5/25, I'm on the 3rd of May… We can get through it… are your scores getting better as you go through them?

    I will be better after I can get home and study tonight. Taking most of Sunday and all of Monday off from studying has refreshed me and I am anxious to get back to it!

    I took the weekend off and did the Warrior Dash down here in Texas. I got back into it last night with Cash and Cash Equivalents and Receivables (Exam Matrix breaks theirs up differently than Becker and WTB).

    Let's just say that smarted a bit…There wasn't as much RTMFQ as I would have liked getting back into the swing of things. :O/

    @Frosty–Don't be. I didn't know what it was when I first joined the forum. I had to ask too.
