Wilson Goodman, single (S), has no adjustments on his Form W-4 and earns $915.60 semimonthly.
Step 2 Determine the withholding tax by referring to the appropriate Percentage Method Withholding Table (see Figure 4.6 below).
➡
Compute tax from Tax Table A, Semimonthly, Standard Withholding Rate Schedule, page T-3. ($915.60 – $577.00 = $338.60 × 10% = $33.86 + $0) = $33.86
Use the percentage method to compute the federal income taxes to withhold from the wages or salaries of each employee. If an amount is zero, enter “0”. If required, round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.
