What is a difference between payroll and income taxes?

Payroll taxes, such as Social Security and Medicare taxes, are withheld from an employee’s paycheck as deductions. Income taxes are calculated based on a person’s income or salary, though they may also be withheld from paychecks throughout the year. Choice A reverses these descriptions, and the other choices incorrectly describe who pays the taxes or when they are paid.
