Massachusetts withholding notes
Massachusetts wages typically require state income-tax withholding in addition to federal FIT. Selecting MA on the generator loads the matching state fields so your stub mirrors how employers near Boston present deductions. Employer unemployment taxes (FUTA and SUTA) are employer-paid; when you enable them on the stub, they appear as informational employer tax lines and do not reduce employee net pay. Massachusetts paid family / medical leave programs may add employee or employer contribution lines depending on the program year and your selections.
