Employer Tax Liabilities

Any employee who receives wages of $1400 or more during a calendar year is subject to FICA (Social Security & Medicare taxes).  For FICA, the tax applies to both the employer and employee.  These taxes are reported and paid annually on Schedule H of your federal income tax return.

Any Employee who receives wages of $1000 or more during a calendar quarter is subject to FUTA (Federal Unemployment Tax).  For FUTA, an employee is only taxed on the first $7000 of his/her annual wages and the maximum tax paid by the employer for each employee is $56.  These taxes are reported and paid annually on Schedule H of your federal income tax return.

SUTA (State Unemployment Tax) must be paid if an employee receives wages of $160 or more per calendar and the tax is only assessed against the first $9000 of wages annually per employee.  This tax is paid on a quarterly basis.
