Note: Don’t enter your state unemployment wages in the FUTA Taxable Wages box. Note: Make sure that you have applied for a state reporting number for your business.

Enter your total in the Credit Reduction box at the end of the line. The table below provides the two-letter postal abbreviations used on Schedule A.

The credit reduction rate for California and New York is 0.006 (0.6%). The credit reduction rate for the U.S. Virgin Islands is 0.039 (3.9%). Step 2. You’re subject to credit reduction if you paid FUTA taxable wages that were also subject to state unemployment taxes in any state listed that has a credit reduction rate greater than zero. In the FUTA Taxable Wages box, enter the total FUTA taxable wages that you paid in any state that is subject to credit reduction. (The FUTA wage base for all states is $7,000.) However, don’t include in the FUTA Taxable Wages box wages that were excluded from state unemployment tax. For example, if you paid $5,000 in FUTA taxable wages in a credit reduction state but $1,000 of those wages was excluded from state unemployment tax, report $4,000 in the FUTA Taxable Wages box. Page 2 Enter the reduction rate and then multiply the total FUTA taxable wages by the reduction rate. Step 3. Total credit reduction To calculate the total credit reduction, add up all of the Credit Reduction boxes and enter the amount in the Total Credit Reduction box. Then enter the total credit reduction on Form 940, line 11. Example 1 You paid $20,000 in wages to each of three employees in State A. State A is subject to credit reduction at a rate of 0.006 (0.6%). Because you paid wages in a state that is subject to credit reduction, you must complete Schedule A and file it with Form 940. Total payments to all employees in State A . . . . . . $60,000 Payments exempt from FUTA tax (see the Instructions for Form 940) . . . . . . . . Total payments made to each employee in excess of $7,000 (3 x ($20,000 - $7,000)) . . . . . . . $39,000 Total FUTA taxable wages you paid in State A entered in the FUTA Taxable Wages box ($60,000 - $0 - $39,000) . . . $21,000 Credit reduction rate for State A . . . . . . . . $0 . . . . Total credit reduction for State A ($21,000 x 0.006) . . . . $126.00 0.006 ! ▲ Don’t include in the FUTA Taxable Wages box wages in excess of the $7,000 wage base for each employee subject to state unemployment insurance in the credit CAUTION reduction state. The credit reduction applies only to FUTA taxable wages that were also subject to state unemployment tax. In this case, you would enter $126.00 in the Total Credit Reduction box and then enter that amount on Form 940, line 11. Example 2 You paid $48,000 ($4,000 a month) in wages to Mary Smith and no payments were exempt from FUTA tax. Mary worked in State B (not subject to credit reduction) in January and then transferred to State C (subject to credit reduction) on February 1. Because you paid wages in more than one state, you must complete Schedule A and file it with Form 940. The total payments in State B that aren’t exempt from FUTA tax are $4,000. Because this payment to Mary doesn’t exceed the $7,000 FUTA wage base, the total FUTA taxable wages paid in State B are $4,000. The total payments in State C that aren’t exempt from FUTA tax are $44,000. However, $4,000 of FUTA taxable wages was paid in State B with respect to Mary. Therefore, the total FUTA taxable wages with respect to Mary in State C are $3,000 ($7,000 (FUTA wage base) - $4,000 (total FUTA taxable wages paid in State B)). Enter $3,000 in the FUTA Taxable Wages box, multiply it by the reduction rate, and then enter the result in the Credit Reduction box. Attach Schedule A to Form 940 when you file your return.

940 (Schedule A) is a Federal Corporate Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
