Does anyone know if QB Payroll calculates the 2025 MN Unemployment Tax Special Assessment (5% of tax due)?

Yes, QuickBooks Online Payroll supports and calculates the MN Unemployment Tax Special Assessment. Allow me to share some important information about how this works in QuickBooks, GOMDG.

Please note that the 5% is calculated based on the total amount of unemployment due for the quarter, not employee wages.

This tax item has been in place, and no additional action is required on your part. It is automatically calculated when paychecks are created in QuickBooks.

You'll want to run the Payroll Summary by Employee report to verify the amount. Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Type in the name of the report in the Search bar.
3. Proceed to the Employer taxes and contributions section to see the amount.
