most states have SUTA form filing requirements quarterly. And the FUTA form (940) is filed annually.

the amount of taxes that is the employer portion ...is all that is  deductible....in both instances. All of the FUTA tax is the employer's responsibility...and all of the SUTA payments in my state (Tennessee) are the employer's responsibility.  Not sure if any state makes the employee pay part of his unemployment tax..none in the surrounding states around me do.

I dont know what uc-1 or W5Z are.

The employer portion of payroll taxes paid during the year goes on Sch C.

unemployment taxes have ZERO to do with Social Security and Medicare deducted. ZERO!  If you don't understand that...and based on some of the other questions you have asked in the community...... then you may be in a little over your head in tax preparation... just my opinion.

"in addition to futa and suta you can also deduct the medicare tax withheld and the medicare tax withheld on the schedule C right?"

Nope. None of that.

You need to understand "payroll math."

Gross wages and employer share of taxes = the business' costs.

Withholdings are not the Business' cost. They are part of Banking. The deductions from staff are forwarded to the various agencies, and were already part of Gross, but this is the part the employees did not get to Take Home.

If you don't understand this, it is time to work under another person as a mentor.

Let me revise my statement  . Then you ARE in  over your head in tax preparation... just my opinion.

If you are charging people for tax preparation.... that is an issue.....

"I am inquiring for a business that wants to do there own taxes."

 

You previously were told this is Not the place for you. You are lost on the internet. You have asked a Professional Tax Preparer forum about something these people charge for, and this forum is for using specific programs that help them work on their clients' taxes.
