  1. How about the term "Credit Reduction"? When I was calculating our office's FUTA tax, which I've been paying as needed throughout the year, the end of the year tax form showed we owed another $200. Upon further inspection, I noticed it was labeled a "credit reduction". How ridiculous is that? Sorry, we're reducing the amount of credit we originally gave you - now you OWE.
