Pre-tax deductions from payroll are qualified deductions applied by employers to employee income before it is subject to taxes. Qualified pre-tax deductions will not appear on Form W-2 or the employerâs quarterly payroll tax report (Form 941). Pre-tax deductions lower employeesâ taxable income and can reduce income tax, state, federal, and FICA taxes.
Mauna Loa's most recent eruption occurred from March 24 to April 15, 1984. No recent eruptions of the volcano have caused fatalities, but eruptions in 1926 and 1950 destroyed villages, and the city of Hilo is partly built on lava flows from the late 19th century.
- In 1950, lava erupted from a fissure on Mauna Loaâs southwest rift zone, at an elevation of almost 10,000 feet, crossing Highway 11 in three places and destroying about two dozen structures before reaching the South Kona shoreline about three hours later. Itâs 500 times greater in volume than Mt. Rainier, the picturesque volcano in Washington state. - Mauna Loa is so huge that it actually causes the Pacific plate it is residing on to sag under the weight of the volcano. - Mauna Loa is one of five Hawaii Island volcanoes.
