Question

Willow Corporation had three employees. Two of the employees worked full-time and earned salaries of $25,000 each. The third employee worked only part-time and earned $3,000. The employer timely paid state unemployment tax equal to 5.4 percent of each employee's wages up to $7,000. How much FUTA tax is due from Willow Corporation for 2019, after the credit for state unemployment taxes?

Answer 1

$102

Step-by-step explanation:

FUTA tax due from Willow Corporation for 2019, after the credit for state unemployment taxes, can be calculated by deducting the Paid state unemployment tax by the FUTA tax.

DATA

Paid State Unemployment Tax = (7,000+7,000+3,000) x 5.4%

Paid State Unemployment Tax = $918

FUTA tax rate in 2019 = 6%

Solution

FUTA tax (6% x $17,000) = $1,020

FUTA tax due = $1,020 - $918

FUTA tax due = $102
