What Are Payroll Taxes?
Payroll taxes withheld from employee paychecks fund Social Security and Medicare, to which the employer also makes payroll tax contributions.
The Social Security tax is paid by both the employee and the employer at a rate of 6.2% of the employee’s wages. The Medicare tax is also paid by both employee and employer, but at a rate of 1.45%.
Employers are also required to pay taxes under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) and the State Unemployment Tax Act (SUTA). The employer must also collect federal income tax from employee paychecks, and pay that amount to the IRS. The rate is determined by the employee’s tax bracket.
Each state also has specific state payroll taxes that must be withheld and paid.
Oklahoma Payroll Taxes
There are two Oklahoma employer payroll taxes to keep track of in addition to Social Security and Medicare.
Employers contribute to a state unemployment tax account (SUTA) and employees pay state income tax.
SUTA
Under SUTA, companies must allocate a portion of their payroll taxes toward the state’s unemployment program, which pays out benefits to the unemployed until they find a new job or the predetermined benefit runs out.
In Oklahoma SUTA is paid on the first $24,800 of annual per-employee income. Rates range from .3% to 7.5% and are based on an experience factor.
The new employer rate is 1.5%. You can find more information on the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission website.
State Income Tax
Oklahoma state income tax rates are based on income and filing status, as detailed on the Oklahoma Tax Commission website.
Paying Payroll Taxes
Just as you need an EIN to pay federal payroll taxes, in Oklahoma, you’ll need to register for state withholdings with the Oklahoma Taxpayer Access Point, and for SUTA taxes with the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission.
To pay these taxes, just log into these accounts.
Your municipality may also require certain tax registrations, so be sure to check with your local government for requirements.
Using a Payroll Tax Service
In Oklahoma, payroll and payroll taxes come with countless laws and restrictions, which is why many business owners turn to a payroll service provider to ensure their business remains fully compliant. It’s usually less expensive than creating a new staff position for managing payroll, and relatively easy.
You’ll just send over your digital timesheets and relevant information, and the service provider will take care of the calculations, payments, and taxes, freeing you up to focus on growing your business.
We highly recommend hiring a payroll service — as a busy entrepreneur, you won’t regret it!
