Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The instructions to line 20 of schedule H refer you to line 15 of schedule H and stipulate that you not enter more than $7,000 of wages for one employee. Line 17(b) is for the taxable wages for FUTA tax. So, that would be $7,000, assuming you just had one employee. I am assuming you are working in the federal section of TurboTax for these entries.

I see that you are requested to enter the taxable wages as defined by state act, but the instructions to line 20 refer you back to line 15, which states you should not enter more that $7,000. You should enter the state wages as requested, but you should see a screen in TurboTax entitled  Wages for FUTA, on which you would enter the $7,000 figure, and that will populate on line 20 of schedule H. The taxable state wages are used to determine the applicable FUTA tax rate, but not the taxable wages.
