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.

Where Can I Go To Talk To CorpNet Support?

If you have any questions about the Tax Registration, Amendment or Account Closure process, or any other questions, you can contact our support at 1.888.449.2638
