Continuing Problem Instructions
| Continuing Problem Instructions | |
| Refer to the partially completed payroll register which you worked on last week. 1. Record the state income taxes on the gross weekly earnings for each employee. For this exercise, assume the rate is 2% for the state of Minnesota. In reality, tax tables are used in Minnesota that are much like the federal tax tables used last week. 2. Record the city income taxes on the gross weekly earnings of each employee. Assume the rate is 1% for the city of Minneapolis residents. In reality, Minneapolis does not impose an income tax. Assume also that state and city taxes are calculated after 401k and healthcare contributions of the employee. | |
