Form 940 is the employer's annual Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) tax report. Only employers pay FUTA tax.

PaycheckCity Payroll provides a partially completed Form 940 based on your payroll history for the selected company, year, and employee(s). To complete the form, we will take you through each section and question on Form 940.

Boxes are pre-populated with a value based on your payroll history for the selected company, year, and employees. All input boxes are editable except for boxes noted 'computed for you'. 'Computer for you' fields are calculated totals based on other input boxes. It is very important to double-check ALL values and make any required corrections carefully.

After finishing your report, you can download and print it. Your Form 940 is ready to file and pay your taxes.
