Answer:
Gross bonus=$1,148.54
FIT=252.68
OASDI=71.21
HI =16.65
MASS. TAX=58.00
Explanation:
Calculation for the withholding taxes and the gross amount of the bonus
Calculation for gross amount of the bonus
Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ (1- 0.22 - 0.062 - 0.0145 - 0.0505] - 0.01
Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ (0.78 - 0.062 - 0.0145 - 0.0505] - 0.01
Gross amount of the bonus= [$750/ 0.653] - 0.01
Gross amount of the bonus=1,148.545-0.01
Gross amount of the bonus=$ 1,148.54
Therefore the Gross amount of the bonus will be $ 1,148.54
Calculation for the withholding taxes
FIT =1148.54 * 22%
FIT=252.68
OASDI= 1148.54 * 6.2%
OASDI=71.21
HI=1148.54 * 1.45%
HI =16.65
MASS. TAX =1148.54 * 5.05%
MASS. TAX =58.00
NET 750.00
[$1,148.54-(252.68+71.21+16.65+58.00)]
Therefore the withholding taxes are:
FIT=252.68
OASDI=71.21
HI =16.65
MASS. TAX = =58.00
