How to find the right agency

Income tax withholding: Your state's Department of Revenue (DOR) typically handles the income tax you withhold from employee paychecks. The name can vary by state, but "Department of Revenue" is the most common.
Unemployment or reemployment insurance: Your state's workforce or labor agency handles these taxes. Most states call it the Department of Labor (DOL) or a similar name.
Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML): Some states collect a separate payroll tax for PFML. Check your state's website to confirm whether PFML applies to your business.
Child support: Find contact details for your state's child support agency.
