FUTA and SUTA FUTA Federal Unemployment Tax Act Passed as part of Social Security Act of 1935 Federal law that imposes an employer tax Required for administration of federal and state unemployment insurance programs SUTA State Unemployment Tax Act Different law in each state Funds used to pay benefits and administer program at individual state’s level In current economic situation, unemployment insurance programs are being stretched very thin! LO-1

Taxable Wages for FUTA/SUTA Taxable FUTA wage base caps at $7,000/year Taxable SUTA wage base caps at different amount in each state (Figure 5-1 (pages 5-12 and 5-13)) Wages include Bonuses, advances, severance pay Stock compensation - fair market value Tips Retroactive wage increases Complete list of taxable wages found on pages 5-7 and 5-8 LO-2

FUTA Rates FUTA rate = 6.0% of first $7,000 of gross wages for each employee per year 5.4% credit against FUTA (allowed for SUTA taxes)* Therefore gross 6.0% less 5.4% credit =.6% net FUTA *Even if experience rating allows employer to pay a lower rate than 5.4% LO-3

Credits Against FUTA Tax To get full 5.4% SUTA credit, employer must have Made SUTA contributions on timely basis - on or before due date for filing Note: even if employer pays into more than one fund, credit still limited to 5.4% Been located in a state that is not in default on their Title XII advances Title XII of the Social Security Act lends funds to states so they may provide unemployment compensation funds from federal government Credit is reduced (.3% per year beginning the second year after the advance – for example, Michigan subject to additional rate if loans not repaid by 11/10/12) LO-3

SUTA Laws & Rates Each employer’s rate based upon experience rating (see next slide) New employer’s pay an initial contribution rate that applies for specific period of time Some states utilize reserve-ratio formula to lower contributions based on low risk of unemployment Nonprofits have option to reimburse state for actual amount of unemployment benefits paid instead of paying percentage SUTA Dumping Prevention Act mandates that states enact laws to stop businesses from lowering their unemployment rates through creating new entities LO-4

How Much FUTA to Deposit If $500 or more, must deposit by last day of month following close of quarter If less, can wait and add to next quarter, then if it’s $500 or more, must deposit If never gets over $500, pay with Form 940 at year-end Use voucher 940V Penalties apply for failing to file 940 return, pay FUTA taxes when due and/or make timely deposits LO-5
