strongFederal Unemployment Tax/strong
The a href=http://hubpages.com/hub/Federal-Unemployment-Insurance-Tax-FormsFederal Unemployment Tax Act/a (FUTA) is separate from federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare taxes. Employers report this tax by filing an annual Form 940 with the Internal revenue Service. Sometimes the employer is required to make quarterly payments during the tax year.
strongCalculating Tax Amount/strong
FUTA puts a 6.2% tax on the employer for the first $7,000 of gross earnings of each worker per year. Once the $7,000 amount is reached then, the employer no longer pays any Federal unemployment tax for that year concerning that particular worker. There are some credits that are allowed with respect to state unemployment taxes paid that may reduce the effective rate to 0.8%.
