Question
the chart shows a sample paycheck stub,
salary\t1106.45
federal income tax\t122.67
social security tax\t68.60
medicare tax\t16.04
state income tax\t10.33
net pay\t888.81
the chart shows that federal and state taxes are
○ added to employee pay.
○ withheld from employee pay.
○ refunded in employee pay.
○ filed through employee pay.
On a paycheck stub, taxes like federal and state income taxes, Social Security, and Medicare taxes are amounts taken out (withheld) from an employee's gross salary to calculate net pay. The salary is the gross amount, and the taxes are deductions, so they are withheld from employee pay. The other options don't fit: taxes aren't added (they reduce pay), refunded (refunds are later, not part of the pay stub deduction), or filed through pay (filing is a separate process from the pay stub's deduction).
