Register Employer Tax Accounts
Hiring employees in a new state? CorpNet registers your SUI and SIT accounts so your Paychex payroll can run without delays.
We verify your details. CorpNet pre-qualifies your business information for accuracy before anything is submitted.
We file with the state. Your dedicated CorpNet agent handles the application and submits it.
We hand off your credentials. Once approved, we deliver your employer account details — ready to give directly to Paychex.
Close Out Old Tax Accounts
Leaving a state, downsizing, or wrapping up? CorpNet navigates the state agencies and paperwork to formally close your employer tax accounts.
We review your situation. CorpNet assesses which accounts need to be closed and in which jurisdictions.
We prepare every filing. Your agent handles all state-specific forms and requirements — no research required on your end.
We confirm it’s done. CorpNet verifies your accounts are formally closed, so you’re no longer liable for future tax obligations in those states.

We’ll keep things simple and transparent. If we need anything from you — like login credentials, signatures, or documentation — we’ll reach out promptly and guide you through it.
We Complete Your Filing
Our team stays with you through the entire process. Whether we’re submitting a new registration or finalizing a closure, we handle the submission and make sure everything is officially processed with the state.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Information Will I Need On Hand To Order a Payroll Tax Registration?
To place your Payroll Tax Registration order, you’ll need to have some details about your business and your payroll handy. We’ll ask you to provide information like your business’s:
- EIN number
- Formation date
- Owner information, also known as responsible party information, including SSNs
- Date and amount of your first payroll in your new state
- Employee hire date and number of employees you’ll have in your new state
Can I Still Place a Payroll Tax Registration Order If I Already Have a State Account?
Unfortunately, if you already have an account registered with the state, CorpNet will not be able to help you at this time. You’ll have to call the state directly on your own.
How much does CorpNet’s payroll tax account closure cost?
The service is $199 per entity and per agency, plus any applicable state fees, shipping and handling, and our 3% convenience fee. Please note that you may be responsible for paying any remaining balances with each agency during the closure process as well.
Are state fees included in the $199 price?
No. State filing fees are additional and vary by state agency.
What will I need to provide to close my Payroll Tax Account?
Each state is different, and your involvement will be necessary at certain points in the process. You may need to share state agency login credentials, sign a few forms, provide additional documentation, or share responsible party information. If so, we’ll ensure that we communicate exactly what’s needed and by when. No stress.
What happens if I don’t close an account I no longer use?
Leaving an employer tax account open can lead to penalties and tax liabilities. Closing the account properly ensures you are no longer responsible.
Can CorpNet handle closures in all states?
Yes, CorpNet can assist with employer tax account closures nationwide, in all 50 states.
Is Payroll Account Closure the same as dissolving my business?
No. Dissolving a business means filing Articles of Dissolution with the Secretary of State. Our payroll tax account closure is different and only applies to closing tax accounts. If you’re planning to formally close your business, we recommend both offerings.
