Under the accrual method of accounting, this account reports the employer’s portion of the Social Security and Medicare tax that pertains to the period indicated in the heading of the income statement, whether or not the company has paid/remitted the FICA taxes within this time period. Since this account involves the warehouse functions of the business, the expense should be reported in the same section of the company’s income statement as the warehouse salaries and wages are reported.

"I work in public audit. I became a PRO user because I wanted to refresh my accounting knowledge by going through your lessons and quizzes, and to save and track my progress as I go through your website. What I like about your materials is that the bite-sized lessons explain the topics in a simple, straightforward way that's easy to understand. The interface/layout is also user friendly. I have benefited from your materials as they have helped me gain more confidence in my knowledge and skills when it comes to my day-to-day tasks as an auditor." - Katrina
