Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Federal Income Tax Withholding for Must Co.
**Scenario:**
Assume that the MUST Co. pays a weekly payroll. Using the portion of the Wage Bracket Withholding Table given, we need to determine the amount of federal income tax to withhold for this pay period for a single employee whose gross earning is $2,250 and who claimed 2 withholding allowances.
#### Table for Percentage Method of Withholding
**WEEKLY Payroll Period**
**SINGLE person (including head of household)** - Assume the deduction for each withholding allowance is $75.
The table below outlines the amount of income tax to be withheld based on the range of wages (after subtracting withholding allowances):
| If the amount of wages (after subtracting withholding allowances) is: | The amount of income tax to withhold |
|---|---|
| Not over $43 | $0 |
| Over $43 but not over $222 | $0.00 plus 10% of excess over $43 |
| Over $222 but not over $767 | $17.90 plus 15% of excess over $222 |
| Over $767 but not over $1,796 | $99.65 plus 25% of excess over $767 |
| Over $1,796 but not over $3,700 | $356.90 plus 28% of excess over $1,796 |
| Over $3,700 but not over $7,992 | $890.12 plus 33% of excess over $3,700 |
| Over $7,992 but not over $8,025 | $2,306.38 plus 35% of excess over $7,992 |
| Over $8,025 | $2,317.93 plus 39.6% of excess over $8,025 |
**Calculation:**
1. Gross earnings: $2,250
2. Subtract withholding allowances: 2 allowances * $75 = $150
3. Amount after allowances: $2,250 - $150 = $2,100
We now consult the table to find the relevant tax bracket for $2,100:
- According to the table, $2,100 falls under the wage range of "Over $1,796 but not over $3,700".
So, we use the formula specific to that range:
\[ \text{Federal Income Tax} = \$356.90 + 28\% \text
