An employee tax summary report provides a detailed overview of the taxes withheld from an employee's earnings over a specific period, typically a fiscal year. This report is crucial for both employers and employees as it summarizes the tax-related information needed for tax filing and compliance purposes.
An employee tax summary report includes
Employee information. Name, employee number, Social Security number, and so on.
Earnings summary. Total gross earnings, including wages, salaries, bonuses, and other types of compensation.
Tax withholdings. Detailed breakdown of federal, state, and local income taxes withheld. Including Social Security tax and Medicare tax (FICA) withholdings.
Other deductions. Any additional tax-related deductions such as unemployment insurance, disability insurance, or other mandated contributions.
Taxable income. Total taxable income after pre-tax deductions such as retirement contributions and health insurance premiums.
Employee contributions. Summary of the employer's contributions to Social Security, Medicare, and other relevant taxes.
Year-to-date totals. Cumulative totals of earnings and withholdings for the year-to-date.
