Answer: $‭2,033.46‬

Explanation:

Social security taxes = 8,388 * 6.2% = $‭520.06

Medicare taxes = 8,388 * 1.45% = $‭121.63

Federal income tax withheld = $1,391.77

FUTA and SUTA are to be paid by the employer not the employee.

The total amount of taxes withheld from Portia is therefore:

= 520.06 + 121.63 + 1,391.77

= $‭2,033.46‬
