The total amount of FICA Taxes (self-employment and employment related) that Kyle owes for 2021 is $17,181.

Data and Calculations:

Kyle = single taxpayer

Self-employment income for three months = $44,000

Employment income for nine months = $178,000

Total income for 2021 = $222,000

FICA taxes:

Social Security tax = $13,764 ($222,000 x 6.2%)

Medicare tax = $3,219 ($222,000 x 1.45%)

Additional Medicare tax  = $198 ($22,000 x 0.9%) ($222,000 - $200,000)

Total FICA taxes = $17,181 ($13,764 + $3,219 + $198)

Thus, Kyle's total FICA taxes for 2021 is $17,181.
