Question

use the net FUTA tax rate of 0.6% on the first $7,000 of taxable wages. John Gercke is an employee of The Woolson Company. During the first part of the year, he earned $6,800 while working in State A. For the remainder of the year, the company transferred him to State B where he earned $16,500. The Woolson Company’s tax rate in State A is 4.2%, and in State B it is 3.15% on the first $7,000. Assuming that reciprocal arrangements exist between the two states, determine the SUTA tax that the company paid to:

a. State A___________________

b. State B __________________

Explanation / Answer

Income in State A = $6,800

Tax in State A = 4.2%

Tax paid by company in State A = $6,800*4.2% = $2,856

Income in State B = $16,500

Tax in State B = 3.15%

Tax paid by company in State B = $16,500*3.15% = $519.75
