Am I in a Credit Reduction State for 2014?

FUTA credit reduction occurs when a state fails to pay back loans taken to meet state unemployment liabilities to that federal government. The normal amount of credit you receive is 5.4% on the FUTA tax rate of 6.0%. Each year the loan is not paid back the credit is reduced by 0.3% with additional reductions after the 3rd and 5th year if certain criteria are not met.
