Business & farm

Hello @JamesG1 

Yes wrote checks and cashed checks for 12 x $4,000 = $48,000.

Yes generated EFTPS payments for correct amount of federal withholding ($2,481 joint married) + 12.4% social security ($6,200) and 2.9% medicare ($1,450)

This should of been federal withholding, 6.2% Social Security & 1.45% Medicare for employer 

Yes prepared and balanced all four 941's.

Yes the mistake made was overpaying the amount of the withholding, SS, and Medicare.

I should of withheld the federal withholding, and employee half of SS, and Medicare. 

$4,000 - federal withholding ($206.75) - Social Security 6.2% ($258.33)  - Medicare 1.45% ($60.42) = $3,474.50

Does this help clarify?  thank you.
