This article is for admins who need to contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or a state tax agency about payroll taxes. Click your state or agency name below to view their phone number and website.

Different state agencies handle different types of payroll taxes. Use the descriptions below to find the right one.
Income tax withholding: Your state’s Department of Revenue (DOR) or tax agency handles the income tax you withhold from employee paychecks. The name varies by state, but “Department of Revenue” is the most common.
Unemployment or reemployment Insurance: Your state workforce or labor agency typically manages these taxes. Most states call this the Department of Labor (DOL) or something similar.
Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML): Some states collect separate payroll taxes for PFML. Check your state’s website to confirm whether PFML applies to your business.
Child support: Find contact information for child support agencies.
