what amount of fica taxes (self-employment and employment related) does kyle owe for the year?

Total amount owed by Kyle = $21573

In the question,

Amount of money earned by Kyle in first three months = $94,000

Amount of money earned by Kyle in Remaining months working as a Full Time = $188, 000

Total Money earned by Kyle = $282,000

Now,

We know that the Percent of FICA(Federal Insurance Contributions Act) taxes are,

Social Security tax = 6.2 %

Medicare tax = 1.45 %

So,

Total percent of tax paid = 7.65 %

So,

Total amount paid in taxes = 7.65 % of Total Money earned by Kyle

Therefore,

Total amount paid in tax = 0.0765 x 282000 = $21573
