Authorize QuickBooks as your Maryland unemployment Third Party Agent

by Intuit•1302• Updated 1 month ago

Maryland has implemented a new Third Party Administrator (TPA) process. When you set up your new payroll service, or when you add a new employee in Maryland, you need to authorize us as your payroll agent with the state so we can pay and file unemployment taxes on your behalf.

For additional support, check out these videos from the Maryland Department of Labor.

Note: Not sure which payroll service you have? Here's how to find your payroll service.
