Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA)

The Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA), with state unemployment systems, provides for 

payments of unemployment compensation to workers who have lost their jobs. Most employers 

pay both a Federal and a state unemployment tax. A list of state unemployment tax agencies, 

including addresses and phone numbers, is available in Publication 926, Household Employer's 

Tax Guide. Only the employer pays FUTA tax; it is not deducted from the employee's wages. For 

more information, refer to the Instructions for Form 940 (PDF).

Use Form 940 to report your annual Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) tax. Together with 

state unemployment tax systems, the FUTA tax provides funds for paying unemployment 

compensation to workers who have lost their jobs. Only employers pay FUTA tax. Most 

employers pay both federal and state unemployment tax.
