REMINDER:  Florida does not have state income tax for individuals.

State Unemployment Insurance tax (SUI) registration – reemployment tax

Your company becomes liable for state unemployment insurance (SUI) tax, called the reemployment tax in Florida, once the company has:

• Paid $1500 in wages during a calendar quarter or;
• Had at least one Florida-employee working for any part of the week, for 20 or more different weeks during a calendar year.

You can find out if you're liable by calling the agency at [phone].

Pay-Net will process your company under an “Applied For” status while you are in the process of registering.

Register with the Florida Department of Revenue (DOR)

The agency should issue you an account number and reemployment rate in 3–5 days by mail. 

1. Head to the Florida Department of Revenue website.
2. New users must create a user profile with a username and password to begin the registration application. Click Create User Profile.
3. Enter and confirm your username, email, and password.
4. At the beginning of the application, you're asked to enter a mailing address. Make sure this is your company's mailing address and no other.
5. Select No when asked: "Do you use a payroll agent (such as an accountant or bookkeeper) or firm that will maintain your payroll information?
   • The why: Pay-Net does not receive mail on behalf of our customers—correspondence from the agency should go directly to the business so you can save all the original documentation and provide copies of them to Pay-Net, as needed.
6.  In the “Enrollment Introduction” section, for the question "Do you wish to file returns or pay tax electronically?":
   • If this is the only tax that you owe in Florida, mark No.
     • Pay-Net will complete your electronic enrollment for unemployment tax (known as reemployment Tax in Florida). 
   • If you have other taxes you'll be filing for your business, like sales tax, mark Yes.
     • Then complete the “Enrollment” section using your business's information (i.e. your company's contact info, your company's banking information, etc).
7. Complete any remaining prompts.
