Current Attempt in Progress The payroll of Novak Company for September 2024 is as follows: Total payroll was $950,000, of which $212,000 is exempt from Social Security tax because it represented amounts paid in excess of $128,400 to certain employees. The amount paid to employees in excess of $7,000 was $811.000. Income taxes in the amount of $183,900 were withheld, as was $19,100 in union dues. The state unemployment tax is 3.5%, but Novak Company is allowed a credit of 2.3% by the state for its unemployment experience. Also, assume that the current F..C.A. tax is 7.65% on an employee's wages to $128,400 and 1.45% in excess of $128,400. No employee for Novak makes more than $250,000. The federal unemployment tax rate is 0.8% after state credit. Prepare the necessary journal entries if the wages and salaries paid and the employer payroll taxes are recorded separately.
