Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the wage bracket method used for tax withholding in  2016;

For a married individual and a situation whereby the number of withholding allowances claimed is four, no federal taxes have to be withheld since the salary is $930.

Also, the OASDI insurance rate = 6.2%

∴
