The wages paid to Serdar Russell ($2,394.00) and the SIMPLE plan deductions need to be deducted from Line 2 total quarterly wages.

Line 3 is the annual gross pay. Line 7 is the total amount of earnings for the year that are subject to FUTA tax. Since the wage base for FUTA is $7,000, you will check the earnings records to see who has earnings in excess of the wage base. Add $7,000 for each employee over the wage base plus the total earnings of any employee earning less than the wage base. Lines 5 and 6 are the difference between these two amounts and represent the earnings in excess of the FUTA wage base of $7,000.(Remember any amount in excess of $7,000 is not taxed for FUTA.) Line 8 total tax paid should equal the February 1 payment. (Transaction No.33) Journalize the entry to record the electronic deposit for the FUTA tax liability.
