Under FICA, how are Social Security and Medicare taxes generally allocated between employer and employee?
a.The employee pays 100%
b.The employer and employee each pay half of the combined rate
c.Only self-employed persons pay them
d.The employer pays 100%
解析
The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) funds Social Security and Medicare, and the tax is shared: the employer withholds the employee's half from wages and pays a matching half. Self-employed individuals pay both halves themselves through SECA (self-employment tax). This shared structure is a key reason misclassifying employees as contractors shifts tax burdens improperly.
