Answer 1

Answer:

B. $0

Explanation:

Unemployment tax known as FUTA (The Federal Unemployment Tax act) is imposed on employers based on the wage and salaries they pay their employees. Employers who pay $1500 and above per calendar quarter are mandated to pay FUTA. Unlike other payroll-based taxes, employers are not required to deduct FUTA from employees. Therefore, nothing should be withheld from Robert's income as unemployment tax.
