Hello, Lorib. The MN Paid Family and Medical Leave Unemployment Taxes is the specific option you use to pay the 0.88% premium for the new leave program. Even though "Unemployment" is in the name, it isn't for jobless benefits; the state is just using the unemployment office as the mailbox to collect these family leave funds.

 

In short, your regular MN Unemployment Taxes cover people who lost their jobs, while this specific line item covers the cost of medical leave and family bonding. QuickBooks lists them this way so the money ends up in the correct state.

 

You can check out this article for more details: Set up Minnesota Paid Family and Medical Leave.
