A
Federal income tax withholding
B
Charitable donations

D
Health insurance premiums
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of voluntary deductions: Voluntary deductions are amounts that employees choose to have withheld from their paychecks for specific purposes, such as retirement savings, health insurance, or charitable donations.
Recognize the difference between voluntary and mandatory deductions: Mandatory deductions are required by law, such as federal income tax withholding, Social Security, and Medicare taxes. Voluntary deductions are optional and based on the employee's preferences.
Review the examples of voluntary deductions provided in the problem: Charitable donations, contributions to retirement plans (e.g., 401(k)), and health insurance premiums are all examples of voluntary deductions.
Identify the exception in the list: Federal income tax withholding is a mandatory deduction required by law and is not considered a voluntary deduction.
Conclude that the correct answer is the mandatory deduction (Federal income tax withholding), as it does not fall under the category of voluntary deductions.
