Payroll employment tax rate

Glad to have you here on the Community page, @beutenbrenda.

 

To give you the right amount of information, may I know what specific concern you have about your payroll tax rate?

 

If you wish to enter or change the state unemployment insurance tax rates, you can simply follow these steps:

 

  1. From the Gear icon select Payroll Settings under Your Company.
  2. Select State Tax.
  3. Scroll down to the State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) Setup section.
  4. Select Change or Add new rate.
  5. Refer to your notice from your state and enter your new rate. If the rate is provided as a decimal, you must enter it as a percentage. For example, enter 3.4% (not .034).
  6. Enter the Effective Date provided in the notice from your state.
  7. Select OK.
  8. If changing or deleting a rate has caused a tax overpayment (indicated by a negative amount of tax owed), please contact your state's unemployment division to confirm that the tax was indeed overpaid and whether they would like you to apply the credit to future debt, or take a refund. Once you have spoken with your state, please contact our customer support for assistance in reconciling the credit.

On the other hand, if you want to know your unemployment tax rate and stay compliance with the state regulations, you can always check our Payroll Tax Compliance Links and look for your state from there.
