Paycheck stubs contain a lot of information. This includes not only the actual payment information, but also deductions for federal and state taxes, Social Security, and Medicare. In this course, we'll go over each of the taxes that you may see deducted from your checks. We'll take a deeper look at Social Security – what it is, how much money is deducted, and the benefits it provides. We'll also go over Medicare and what percentage of pay all workers contribute.
