The State Unemployment Tax Act, better known as SUTA, is a form of payroll tax that all states require employers to pay for their employees. SUTA is a counterpart to FUTA, the federal unemployment insurance program. A

The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (or FUTA, I.R.C. ch. 23) is a United States federal law that imposes a federal employer tax used to help fund state workforce agencies. Employers report this tax by filing an annual Form 940 with the Internal Revenue Service. A Complete the following steps:

Net FUTA tax: Since this is the first pay period of the year, none of the employees are near the $7,000 ceiling; therefore, each employee?s gross earnings is subject to the FUTA tax. (The employer rate is 0.6%)

SUTA tax: Since Kipley Company is a new employer, Pennsylvania has assigned the company a contribution rate of 3.6785% on the first $9,750 of each employee?s earnings.

Requirements;

1) Compute and record the employee's SUTA contributions.

2) Compute and record the Kipley Company's SUTA and FUTA contributions.
