Taxes assessed by states to cover unemployment benefits paid to unemployed workers who have been laid off or terminated by a company for specified reasons. This tax is paid by the employer but is computed by multiplying a percentage times the first $7,000 to $30,000+ (varies by state) of each employee’s annual wages.

"AccountingCoach is an amazing self-teaching tool for those first starting out and also for those that need the refresher course. It is written in a very engaging style that motivates you to read and continue to learn. It is very easy to understand, and breaks down a complicated subject matter into a progressive 'simple to learn and achieve success' system. I am enjoying AccountingCoach so much. I chose to be a member for life. Adding AccountingCoach to my toolbox has been one of the best investments I've made." - Cheryl
