Understand the context of the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), which mandates employers to report payroll taxes periodically.
Recognize that FICA taxes include Social Security and Medicare taxes, which are withheld from employees' wages and matched by employers.
Learn that employers are required to file Form 941, the quarterly payroll tax return, to report wages paid, tips received, and taxes withheld.
