Assume that in 2016, an employer had charged the wages account for $79,850. Of this amount, $720 will not be paid until the first payday in 2017. Further, the wages actually paid to employees in 2016 in excess of $7,000 each amounted to $29,840. The gross FUTA tax imposed on the employer is computed as follows: Total amount charged to wages during 2016 $79,850.00 Less: Wages not to be paid until 2017 $720 Wages paid in excess of $7,000 limit 29,840 30,560.00 Total taxable wages $49,290.00 Rate of tax × 6.0% Amount of gross FUTA tax $2,957.40 In September 2016, Manson Paint Corporation began operations in a state that requires new employers of one or more individuals to pay a state unemployment tax of 3.5% of the first $7,000 of wages paid each employee. An analysis of the company's payroll for the year shows total wages paid of $177,610. The salaries of the president and the vice president of the company were $20,000 and $15,000, respectively, for the four-month period, but there were no other employees who received wages in excess of $7,000 for the four months. Included in the total wages were $900 paid to a director who only attended director meetings during the year, $6,300 paid to the factory superintendent, and $2,000 in employee contributions to a cafeteria plan made on a pretax basis-for both federal and state. In addition to the total wages of $177,610, a payment of $2,430 was made to Andersen Accounting Company for an audit it performed on the company's books in December 2016.
