We are both correct. It is the employer that writes the check and fills out the report and prints the W2 and sends the W3 to the SS Admin. I was just trying to simplify things for a person not from the USA. I work for a CPA so I understand who pays what and how much, but thanks for the clarification. La Nell
Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] What is a Social Security Number? La Nell Re: That tax is paid by the employer out of our earnings. The person pays Social Security Tax of 6.2% and Medicare Tax of 1.45%. The person's employer pays the same percentage, hence the employer is paying as much out of his pocket as the employee does.
