What is FICA?

Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA)

FICA requires employers and employees to contribute to Social Security and Medicare through payroll taxes. This includes 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare, totaling 7.65% from both employer and employee.

If you own a food or beverage business where tipping is customary, you may be eligible. Your employees must receive tips for services, and you must pay Social Security and Medicare taxes on these tips. Our team can help determine your eligibility and guide you through the process.
