Texas Unemployment Tax Instructions

In 2005 the Texas SUTA tax for unemployment insurance applies to the first $9000 in wages for each employee. The starting rate for a new company is 2.7% (except for some industries that have a higher rate). Rates for experienced companies range from .58% to 8.02% depending on their ratio of contributions to claims.

To enter your Texas state SUTA tax rate into the Goldenseal payroll software, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Payroll Setup from the Costs menu, and choose Tax Items from the submenu.
  2. You'll see a list of Tax Items. Locate the Texas SUTA tax in the list, and double-click on it. HINT: If you don't see Texas SUTA in the list, you'll first need to import your state's payroll tax tables.
  3. Enter the percentage rate for your business into the percent field to the right of Calculation method.
  4. If the cutoff has changed, enter it into the dollar field next to First Adjustment.
