- Income taxes: Withhold the proper amount of tax income from the salary of each employee throughout the year.
- Social Security tax and Medicare or “FICA” Hold the FICA tax you must pay each employee his salary and match that amount.
- Federal Unemployment Tax or “FUTA” This tax goes to the unemployment insurance system, and is paid entirely by the employer. Employees must not remove any of FUTA.
