An employer's federal payroll tax responsibilities include withholding from an employee's compensation and paying an employer's contribution for Social Security and Medicare taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA).
What is FICA? FICA refers to the Federal Insurance Contributions Act which mandates employers withhold a certain percentage of their employees' salaries each pay period. FICA is the result of the Social Security Act passed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935. Congress passed the Federal Insurance Contributions Act in 1935, mandating employers to withhold a set portion of employees' salary in each pay period.
