Answer:

$18,943.40

Explanation:

FICA taxes when Kyle was self employed = $76,000 x 15.3% = $11,628

Social security taxes while employed = ($137,700 - $76,000) x 6.2% = $3,825.40

Medicare taxes while employed = [($200,000 - $76,000) x 1.45%] + [($196,000 + $76,000 - $200,000) x 2.35%] = $1,798 + $1,692 = $3,490

Total FICA taxes = $18,943.40
