Question: Are agricultural workers subject to FUTA?

I can’t get a straight answer from any IRS publication.

Are agricultural workers, for whom you file an annual 943, subject to Federal Unemployment taxes?

Answer: We have been paying it for close to 20 years on an almond orchard. I know of no exception. In California the only exception is that we do not have to withhold state tax even though the employee must pay it.

Here are the rules.
For agricultural employers
File Form 940 if you answer “Yes” to either of these questions:
• Did you pay cash wages of $20,000 or more to farmworkers during any calendar quarter in 2005 or 2006?
• Did you employ 10 or more farmworkers during some part of the day (whether or not at the same time) during any 20 or more different weeks in 2005 or 20 or more different weeks in 2006?

Question: Federal e-file question re filing out of state where you live?

Okay, so my sister bought Tax Cut and did her own tax return. I took my tax stuff to her house and we did mine, too… BUT later it hit me… that since I live in one state and she lives in another… where should I send the signature form?? The state where I filed, or the state where I live?? I realize it’s all federal, so there shouldn’t really be a big deal over it, the return’s correct and everything… just couldn’t figure out where to send the form. And, yes, wouldn’t you know it, the address for the IRS center for hers is different than the one for mine. Thanks for your help.

Answer: For your federal, you’d send it to the address for federal forms to be sent for the state where you live, assuming that’s the address that you put on your return. The IRS doesn’t know or care where you were physically when you efiled, they only know the address on your return.
