Continuing Problem Instructions
| Continuing Problem Instructions |
| Refer to the partially completed payroll register you worked on last week. 1. Enter each employee’s gross earnings in the Taxable Earnings—SUTA column. 2. Total the Taxable Earnings—SUTA column. 3. At the bottom of your payroll register, assuming a rate of 5.85%, compute the SUTA tax. Minnesota does not limit the amount of wages subject to SUTA, so all wages are subject to SUTA tax. Assume that employees are subject to a SUTA rate of .75%. In reality, however, Minnesota does not impose a SUTA tax on employees. |
