Question

Since the SUTA rates changes are made at the end of each year, the available 2019 rates were used for FUTA and SUTA.

Note: For this textbook edition the rate 0.6% was used for the FUTA tax rate for employers.

 

Example 5-8

  1. The Iqbal Company of Georgia had a FUTA taxable payroll of $215,600 and a SUTA taxable payroll of $255,700 with a 5.6 percent SUTA tax rate. The company would pay unemployment taxes of:

    FUTA $215,600 × 0.006 = $1,293.60
    SUTA $255,700 × 0.056 = 14,319.20
    Total taxes   $15,612.80
  2. Kresloff Company has only two employees and is located in a state that has set an unemployment tax for the company of 4.8 percent on the first $12,000 of each employee’s earnings. Both employees are paid the same amount each week ($900) and have earned $11,500 up to this week’s pay. The unemployment taxes that the company must pay for this week’s pay would be $48.

    FUTA tax (both over $7,000) = $0.00
    SUTA tax ($1,000 × 0.048) = $48.00
    ($500 of each employee’s pay is under the state taxable limit of $12,000)

Garrison Shops had a SUTA tax rate of 3.7%. The state's taxable limit was $8,000 of each employee's earnings. For the year, Garrison Shops had FUTA taxable wages of $67,900 and SUTA taxable wages of $83,900. Compute:
