Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You are correct.  Connecticut (CT) is one of the states that has an outstanding loan with the federal government.  For this reason all of the FUTA rate is higher in your state.

• As Connecticut has an outstanding loan balance, Connecticut employers will have a FUTA tax increase of 0.3%, applied to payroll paid from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2022 (click here for the CT rates in 2023).

Also, CT uses the first $15,000 paid to each employee, so as far as CT, the full wage amount of $24,000 must be used to determine the FUTA rate. Review the state question section  to be sure you answer correctly.  If I change the state information to show CT and 24,000 as the 'State Taxable Wages' enter the correct rate of .028  (using from their chart since I do not know your rate) then click continue, continue and enter the FUTA wages.  You will arrive at the correct amount on Schedule H.
