What is Unemployment Tax Services?

Unemployment tax is the tax you may owe on the unemployment benefits you receive. While these benefits provide essential financial support during tough times, the IRS considers them taxable income.

You may assume that unemployment isn’t taxable, but federal rules require you to report it, even if most states don’t tax these benefits. You can choose to have taxes deducted automatically from your payments or pay them when you file your tax return.

Our unemployment tax services help you manage this process. We make sure all your benefits are reported correctly, so you avoid penalties. We also handle more complex situations, such as receiving benefits from multiple states or having gaps in coverage.
