Question

question 4 of 10
which of the following is a required deduction?

a. state sales tax

b. fica

c. health insurance

d. disability insurance

Explanation:

Required deductions are mandatory. FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) taxes (for Social Security and Medicare) are required payroll deductions. State sales tax is a consumption tax (not a payroll deduction), while health and disability insurance are often voluntary or employer - specific optional deductions (or may be required by some employers but not federally mandated as a universal required deduction like FICA).

Answer:

B. FICA
