What does SITW stand for?

In reality, payroll taxes encompass Federal and state income tax withholding, social security and Medicare taxes (also known as FICA), Federal unemployment tax (FUTA), as well as any state and local unemployment taxes assessed.

Under ABX4-17, as of November 1, 2009, employers will be using a new state income tax withholding table to increase by 10% the amount of income taxes withheld based on existing claimed exemptions.

For example, a company paying $100 in state income tax withholdings for a new worker would be credited with $75 toward its other state tax obligations, based on a 75 percent credit.

3 percent of compensation for employer and employee social security taxes, at least 15 percent for federal income tax withholding, approximately 6 percent for state income tax withholding, and approximately 4 percent for unemployment insurance.
