-
•
Q – Medicare Qualified Government Employment (MQGE) or excess Medicare; or
-
•
T – Tips earned in regular employment.
NOTE: The EET code of Q should only appear when Medicare earnings are greater than FICA,
but FICA is under the maximum or involves State and Local employment and only part
of the earnings is subject to Medicare tax.
