Allow me to give additional information regarding the new 5% Minnesota Unemployment Insurance (MN UI) additional assessment in its payroll tax settings, @jeffyurk.
QuickBooks Online Payroll currently does not include the new 5% Minnesota Unemployment Insurance (MN UI) additional assessment. Our payroll team is monitoring updates from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) to implement these changes promptly. However, we do not have a specific date for when the new option will be implemented, but most states' effective date is January 1st, 2025.
In the meantime, if you receive a notice from your state, please consider sending it to us. This will allow us to better assist you in updating your tax rates in QuickBooks Online.
To initiate this process, please write your Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) by hand on the first page of your tax notice. If you have multiple notices of discrepancy, please send each one separately.
If you are using our payroll services, follow these steps to upload your notice:
- Go to Taxes and select Payroll Tax.
- Click on Resources.
- Hit Tax Notice.
- Follow the instructions displayed on the screen to submit your notice.
Upon receiving your tax notice, we will send an email confirmation to the Principal Officer and Primary Admin on file, including a case number and additional details.
After our review, a tax specialist will email you with the resolution, actions taken on your behalf, and any necessary next steps. The Tax Notice team will acknowledge receipt via email within 3-5 business days. If the Principal Officer or Primary Admin does not receive this email, please contact us to confirm receipt of your notice.
Additionally, I'm adding this resource to help you how you can wrap up this year’s payroll and prepare for the next with QuickBooks Online Payroll Core, Premium, or Elite: Year-end checklist for QuickBooks Online Payroll.
We're committed to supporting you in any way we can. If you have any further questions about processing paychecks or any other inquiries, please feel free to reach out. Our team is always here to assist you!
