Welcome, I'm Sharon Kreider. I'm a CPA and an enrolled agent in Sunnyvale, California. I teach tax update classes for tax professionals. This is an update on the Affordable Care Act and its provisions for the 3.8% Medicare tax. The new Medicare tax, beginning in 2013, raises $210 billion of the very expensive price tag of Affordable Care Act. So, we need to see how that's going to apply to us and our clients in the very near future. Burn Joven and I recently presented a webcast for Paychecks.

4137 reported on 1040 line Form: What You Should Know
Second, you must include the amount that hasn't been reported to the employer toward your social security and Medicare taxes. In the example below, the employee hasn't filed a return, so the employee must include in income the amounts not reported to the employer to calculate social security and Medicare taxes on unreported tips. Example 2 Employee earns 100 on her tips. The employee didn't report 1,500 in tip income to the employer. Therefore, the employer's social security and Medicare taxes of 4,000 (2,500 social security and 2,000 Medicare) will be paid on this unreported tip income. However, since this tip income is not reported to the company, 900 (400 social security, 400 Medicare) is not included in employee's income for federal income and employment tax purposes. Note: If IRS Form 4137 doesn't report unreported tips, it isn't necessary to file. However, if there is an error to report some tips or the income is over the reporting threshold, the IRS may need to fill out the form.
