Let Gusto Business Compliance register your business in this state and keep you compliant after that. We'll register you with the state, act as your registered agent, file your annual reports, watch your government mail, and give you a concierge team. Learn more about Gusto Business Compliance.
Prefer not to use Business Compliance? We can still help you register in this state through our partner Middesk, with no monthly subscription. Order a one-time state tax registration.
Expand the sections below to see if you qualify, what's covered, how to sign up, and what happens next.
You can add Business Compliance if all of these are true:
You run payroll with Gusto. Business Compliance is not sold on its own.
You're on the Solo, Simple, Plus, or Premium plan. It's included with Premium at no extra cost.
Your business is a corporation or an LLC. Corporations include S corporations and nonprofit corporations. An LLC qualifies however it's taxed.
New sign-ups are not available for professional entities, including professional corporations and professional limited liability companies (PLLCs). If you already have a Business Compliance subscription as a professional entity, your coverage continues as it is.
Business Compliance is not available yet for sole proprietors, general partnerships, limited partnerships, or limited liability partnerships (LLPs). It's also not available for cannabis-related businesses, on any plan.
Not sure if you qualify? Chat with us before you sign up.
Business Compliance works state by state. Each state you add includes:
Registered agent — we accept legal and government mail for your business in that state.
Change of registered agent — we file the change so your mail comes to us.
Foreign qualification — we register your business with the Secretary of State so you can legally work there.
State tax registration — we register you with the state's tax agencies when you hire or start working there, including local tax agencies and Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) agencies wherever Gusto is able to register with them.
Annual report filing — we file the yearly report that keeps your business in good standing.
Government mail monitoring — we scan mail from state agencies into Gusto. Each notice comes with a plain-language summary of what it means and what to do next.
Proactive alerts — we tell you about deadlines before they're due.
You also get a compliance concierge team, no matter how many states you cover.
Cost: $85 per state, per month, billed monthly. Adding a state commits you to 12 months of coverage in that state. It's included with Premium at no extra cost. State filing fees are charged at cost, vary by state and business type, and show on your invoice.
Local tax and PFML coverage follows what Gusto's state tax registration supports, and not every agency can be registered through Gusto. Delaware and Maine do not allow a third party to register for Paid Family and Medical Leave, so you'll register with those agencies yourself. If we cannot register one of your agencies, we'll show it on your registration page under what you'll complete on your own. See Let Gusto help you with state tax registration.
Sign in to Gusto.
Go to Taxes & Compliance.
Select Business compliance.
Answer the questions about your business and the states where you work.
Review the price and what's included, then confirm.
After your first state is set up, you'll see its registrations and anything left to do.
When you add an employee or work location in a new state, that state shows up under Your states as Setup in progress, with your next step. Steps often include telling us more about your business there and moving your registered agent to us.
Select Start on a task to finish it, or View state details to see everything for that state. When every step is done, the state changes to Active.
To be your registered agent in a state, we file a change of registered agent with that state.
When a state needs this, you'll see a task on that state's card under Your states. Select Start to begin.
Keep your current registered agent until we confirm the transfer is done. A gap in coverage can put your business out of good standing in that state.
Once a state is active, we take over the ongoing work. We review your government mail, track your deadlines, and give you a concierge team to ask about any of it.
Your Business compliance page also shows your Compliance documents and Tax account details for each state.
Because we're your registered agent, legal mail for your business comes to us.
Other mail from state agencies is scanned into Agency notices on your Business compliance page. Each notice shows the state it came from, when it arrived, and a plain-language summary of what it means and what to do next. Select Unread or State to filter the list.
Still not sure what a notice means? Select Ask concierge about this mail on that notice. Your concierge team will follow up and explain what, if anything, you need to do.
If a notice is about your state payroll taxes, your concierge team brings in our tax resolution team. Learn more in How to handle a tax notice from an agency.
When you sign up, you get a compliance concierge team. They'll:
Learn about your business and the states where you work.
Check in regularly to make sure your filings are on track.
Explain any government mail you're unsure about.
Answer questions about your account.
To reach them, select Talk to a compliance concierge on your Business compliance page, or email [email protected].
We track filing and renewal deadlines for the states you cover. This includes annual reports, franchise tax filings, and business license renewals.
You'll get a notice in Gusto and by email before each deadline.
We file what we can for you. If a filing needs your approval, we'll send it to you with time to review.
Go to Taxes & Compliance → Business compliance → Manage subscription.
To stop coverage in one state, select Remove next to that state.
To cancel Business Compliance, select Leave Business Compliance.
Each state you add runs for a 12-month term, and you're billed monthly over that term. If you want to remove a state or leave Business Compliance before that term is up, email your compliance concierge team at [email protected] first. They'll tell you what happens to the rest of the term.
If Business Compliance is included with your Premium plan, you'll see a note on this page.
Before you remove a state: We'll stop being your registered agent there. Most states require one, so appoint a new agent to stay in good standing. We'll also stop tracking that state's mail and deadlines.
These services are charged separately from your subscription, on your regular Gusto invoice. Order them from your Business compliance page when you need them:
Certificate of good standing — $99 per certificate. Official proof that your business can operate and is in good standing. You may need one for a loan, a contract, or investors.
State account closure — $549 per order. We close your state tax accounts when you stop working in a state.
State filing fees are charged on top of these prices, at cost. They vary by state and by business type, so you'll see your total before you confirm the order. The filing fee appears as its own charge, separate from the service itself.
Legal and tax advice. We do not give legal or tax advice. For advice about your business, talk to a lawyer or an accountant.
Payroll taxes. Gusto payroll already handles the taxes tied to paying your team. Business Compliance covers what your business owes as a business.
Forming a new business. We register an existing business in a new state. We do not form new businesses.
Sales tax. We do not register you for sales tax or file sales tax returns.
Professional and industry licenses. We do not get or renew licenses for your profession or industry, or handle their reporting.
Reinstatements and reopened accounts. We do not reinstate a business with the Secretary of State or reopen closed payroll tax accounts.
General mail. We monitor payroll and compliance notices from government agencies, not your other mail.
Q: Why does my business need to register in a state?
A: Once you have an employee, a location, or other business in a state, that state's rules apply to you. This includes registration, filings, taxes, and renewals. It's separate from registering to run payroll there.
Q: How is this different from the payroll taxes Gusto already handles?
A: Gusto payroll handles the taxes tied to paying your team. Business Compliance covers what your business owes as a business, like Secretary of State registration, annual reports, and registered agent service.
Q: I'm already registered in my state. Do I still need this?
A: Registering is just the first step. Staying in good standing is ongoing. We keep you there by acting as your registered agent, watching your mail, filing your annual reports, and alerting you before deadlines.
Q: How much does Business Compliance cost?
A: $85 per state, per month, billed monthly. When you add a state, you are committing to 12 months of coverage in that state. It's included with Premium at no extra cost. State filing fees are charged at cost, and they vary by state and business type. One-time services are charged separately from your subscription. You'll see the price before you confirm.
Q: How do Business Compliance charges show up on my bill?
A: They appear on your regular Gusto invoice, not a separate bill. Your subscription, each one-time service you order, and state filing fees show up as their own charges, with the state named, so you can see what each one is for.
Q: I already paid for a one-time registration. What happens if I add Business Compliance?
A: Email your compliance concierge team at [email protected]. They'll review your account and share your options.
Expand the sections below to learn how to register with Minnesota tax agencies. Don't forget to give Gusto third-party access (TPA) so we can file and pay your taxes for you.
You'll work with the following Minnesota agencies when registering for payroll taxes:
Minnesota Department of Revenue (DOR): Handles income tax withholding.
Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Program (UI): Handles unemployment tax and Paid Leave.
You need to register for withholding income tax with the Minnesota Department of Revenue (DOR). You should get your account number right after you register.
Go to the Minnesota Department of Revenue website.
Scroll to Business Registration and click Get a Minnesota Tax ID Number.
Learn more about MN Tax ID requirements.
Before you continue, make sure you have:
Your Federal Employer ID Number (FEIN)
Your business name and address
Your business's NAICS code, which is an industry classification code
The names and Social Security numbers of business officers
A contact name and email
Scroll down and click Next.
Fill out all the required information to finish registering.
In Minnesota, most businesses must start paying unemployment tax after paying at least one Minnesota employee $1.00 or more.
Your business type (general, nonprofit, and others) can affect when you need to start paying. Contact the unemployment agency to confirm when your company is responsible for paying this tax.
Owners or officers with 25% or more of the company should work with the agency to see if they're exempt from unemployment insurance. Make sure the agency knows who these owners are. If they're exempt, you can set up an exemption for them in Gusto.
If you need to run payroll but don't yet meet the requirements, you can enter the new employer rate for Minnesota in Gusto temporarily. Update the rate once you get it. You can also check Minnesota's website for new employer rates by business type.
Minnesota has two account types:
Joint Unemployment/Paid Leave accounts: For employees who need both unemployment insurance and Paid Leave.
Paid-Leave-Only accounts: For employees who only need Paid Leave because they're exempt from unemployment.
Most businesses will have one account, but some may have two Employer Account Numbers (EANs). This happens when some employees need both Unemployment Insurance and Paid Leave, while others only need Paid Leave.
Go to the Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Program website.
Click Employers & Agents.
Scroll to the I Need To... section, and under Register for an Account, click Employers.
Scroll to the New employer account section and click Register.
For step-by-step help, watch the agency's video on how to register.
Make sure you have all the info ready, then click Next and fill out everything they ask for.
On the Register for an Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Paid Leave account page, select the option that fits your situation best:
Option 1: You need a joint SUI/PFML account, and it's your first time registering.
Option 2: You need a Paid-Leave-only account, and it's your first time registering.
Option 3: You already have a joint SUI/PFML account, but need to add a Paid-Leave-only account. This is most common if you have some employees liable for both taxes, and some employees only liable for PFML. If you have an older SUI account, it was converted into a joint SUI/PFML account automatically.
Once you complete registration, take these steps:
Give Gusto third-party access (TPA) so we can help manage your taxes with the agency.
Enter your tax account information in Gusto once you add a valid Minnesota work address for one or more employees.
If you've already registered in Minnesota, you need to enter your tax account details in Gusto. You need to be registered with the following agencies for Gusto to file and pay taxes on your behalf:
Minnesota Department of Revenue (DOR): Handles income tax withholding.
Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Program (UI): Handles unemployment tax and Paid Leave.
If you still need to register, see the Register for MN income, unemployment, and Paid Leave taxes on your own section earlier in this article.
Once you add a valid Minnesota work address in Gusto for one or more employees, you can enter your state tax account information.
To add your Minnesota tax account information:
Go to Taxes & compliance, then select Tax setup.
Find Minnesota Tax Setup and select Manage taxes.
Follow the instructions below for each tax type.
Important: If you edit a tax account number after payments or filings have already been made, there may be tax implications. Learn how to pull reports in Gusto that can help you correct historical tax issues related to tax account number updates.
Next to Tax ID Number, click Edit to enter your Minnesota Withholding Tax ID. This is your Minnesota Tax ID Number issued by the Minnesota Department of Revenue (DOR).
Notices from the Minnesota Department of Revenue
If you cannot find your account number, contact the DOR at (651) 282-9999.
Minnesota has two account types:
Joint Unemployment/Paid Leave accounts — for employees who need both Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Paid Leave.
Paid-Leave-Only accounts — for employees who only need Paid Leave because they are exempt from UI.
Most businesses have one account. Some businesses have two Employer Account Numbers (EANs) — one joint SUI/PFML account and one Paid-Leave-Only account.
Next to Employer Account Number, click Edit and enter your employer account number.
Next to PFML Account Number, click Edit and enter your employer account number.
You have both account types when some employees need UI and Paid Leave, while others only need Paid Leave because they are exempt from UI.
Important: Every employee you report on the Paid-Leave-Only account must have a Minnesota SUI exemption set up in Gusto. This applies to every employee on that account — not just the first one. Without the exemption, Gusto cannot report the employee on the Paid-Leave-Only return.
To set this up:
Set up a MN SUI exemption for each employee who belongs on the Paid-Leave-Only return.
After you add the first exemption, the PFML Account Number field shows up in your state tax setup.
Next to Employer Account Number, click Edit and enter your joint SUI/PFML account number.
Next to PFML Account Number, click Edit and enter your Paid-Leave-Only account number.
The Employer Account Number and the PFML Account Number cannot be the same.
Your Determination of Tax Rate letter from the state
If your business has a Paid-Leave-Only account number, you will find it on the registration letter from the state.
Your EAN should start with a "0" and have 7 digits. If you have an older 7-digit number, enter it in Gusto.
If you cannot find your account number, contact the agency at (651) 296-6141 or get their contact info here.
Next to Unemployment Insurance Tax Rate, click Edit and enter your unemployment rate. Do not include the following rates (they're already accounted for):
Workforce Assessment Rate
Federal Loan Interest Assessment
Additional Assessment
Log in to your Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Account.
Click Account Maintenance.
Click View Tax Rate Notice.
If you cannot find your rate, contact the agency at (651) 296-6141.
If you do not have your assigned rate yet, enter the new employer rate for Minnesota in Gusto temporarily. Update the rate once you get it.
Owners or officers with 25% or more of the company should work with the agency to see if they're exempt from unemployment insurance. Make sure the agency knows who these owners are. If they're exempt, you can set up an exemption for them in Gusto.
To let Gusto file and pay your taxes, you need to give Gusto third-party access to these Minnesota agencies:
Minnesota Department of Revenue (DOR): Withholding (income) tax
Minnesota Unemployment Insurance (UI): Unemployment tax and Paid Leave
If we need to file an amended return, you'll need to give us additional access.
Gusto needs to be authorized as your third-party agent (TPA) to pay and file your withholding taxes. We'll send a request for TPA, and you'll need to approve it before we can file your taxes.
We'll request Third-Party Access to your DOR account within 25 business days of a Minnesota work address being added in Gusto.
If you do not get our request after 25 business days, message us from your account to let us know.
When your Home page in Gusto has a Things to do item titled Finish Minnesota withholding registration, complete the steps below.
Click Manage My Profile.
If you have an alert for a new message, it could be Gusto's request. Click View Messages and view the Third-Party Request.
Find I Want To and click Set up access with another business.
Click Approve or Deny 3rd Party Requests.
Choose Yes for Access Allowed.
Select All for Access Type.
Click Next.
Review all info on the Request Summary Page and click Submit.
After you've given Gusto access with the agency, sign in to your admin profile in Gusto.
From your Home page, under Things to do, find and click Finish Minnesota withholding registration, then click Let's do it.
On the Minnesota tax setup page, find Revenue Registration and click Edit.
Select Yes, I have approved Gusto, then click Save.
If we have issues getting the authorization we need, we'll let you know.
You have not registered a withholding account with the DOR. While your general account number and withholding account number are the same, the withholding tax type requires a separate setup.
Old third-party agents are still on your account. Call the DOR at (651) 282-9999 and have them remove the old agent's access and remove your company from your previous agent's client list.
Gusto's start and end dates for third-party access are incorrect. The start date should be the first day of the quarter when Gusto starts filing for you. For example, if your first payday with Gusto was on February 18, the start date should be January 1, since that's the beginning of the first quarter.
Your FEIN or Withholding Tax Account ID in Gusto does not match what the agency has on file. Verify your information matches in both places.
If you need help, contact the DOR at (651) 282-9999.
For Gusto to file and pay your MN Unemployment and Paid Leave taxes, you need to authorize Gusto as your third-party agent. You'll need your permanent user ID to do this, which comes in the mail after registration is completed. Learn more about third-party access on the agency site.
To start the authorization:
Log in to your account with the Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Program.
Click Account Maintenance.
Click Agent Authorization.
If you do not see this option, reference the troubleshooting instructions below. You may not have received your permanent user ID in the mail yet, and this is required.
Click New.
Enter Gusto's Agent ID: AG014761.
For the Effective Begin Date, enter today's date.
In the Available Roles section, select the following three roles for Gusto to perform:

Once TPA has been assigned for Minnesota UI, sign in to your Gusto account to let us know:
Go to Taxes & compliance, then select Tax setup.
Find Minnesota Tax Setup and click Manage Taxes.
Next to UI Registration, click the edit icon.
Select Yes, I have authorized Gusto.
Click Save.
Your information in Gusto does not match what's on file with the agency. Verify that your FEIN and Employer Account Number match in both places. Go to Taxes & compliance in Gusto to see what's on file.
You have not assigned Gusto the necessary roles. See step 7 above for the required roles.
You do not see "Agent Authorization" in your account. You may still need a permanent user ID to complete TPA authorization.
Employers should receive the permanent ID correspondence within 7 days of registration, though this can change depending on mail delivery delays.
If you have not received your permanent user ID after 7–10 days from when you initially logged into the online portal, contact the agency at [email protected] or call (651) 296-6141, option 4.
If you only have access to the temporary password issued during the initial setup, log in using that password. Minnesota will mail a permanent user ID the next business day.
If you're still having issues, contact the agency at (651) 296-6141.
This agency requires that Gusto have third-party access to your online MN UI account to submit an amendment on your behalf. Amendments often call for a different filing method than the original returns.
If you have trouble, try the agency's instructions.
Log in to the unemployment insurance program online website.
Enter your User ID and Password, then click Login.
If you do not know your credentials, contact a Customer Service Representative at (651) 296-6141, option 4.
On the Employer Home Page, click Account Maintenance.
Click Agent Authorization.
Click Search to view agents who have already been authorized to access your account.
Click New to authorize a new agent.
On the Assign Agent page, enter Gusto's Agent ID: AG014761.
Click Next.

This is the minimum account access required for us to submit amendments on your behalf.
Click Save.
For each role selected, click Assign Employer Units and select the unit(s) for that role.
Click Save.
Minnesota submits Unemployment Insurance (UI) tax returns to the Paid Leave Department for wage reporting.
If you were already registered for unemployment taxes, the agency automatically updated your account to a Joint Unemployment/Paid Leave account.
If you need a Paid-Leave-Only account, register that account with the agency and add your Employer Account Number (EAN) in Gusto.
Have employees who belong on a Paid-Leave-Only return?
If your business has both a joint SUI/PFML account and a Paid-Leave-Only account, you must set up a Minnesota SUI exemption for every employee on the Paid-Leave-Only return. See Employer Account Number (EAN) above in this article to get the full setup steps.

Minnesota sets Paid Leave premium rates to cover payments and support workers who need leave.
For 2026, the premium rate is 0.88%. This includes 0.61% for Medical Leave and 0.27% for Family Leave. Premiums apply to wages up to $185,000. This wage cap matches the Social Security wage base (the OASDI limit).
Employers can deduct up to 0.44% of an employee's wages to cover the employee's share of the premium. You can also cover a larger portion of the premium for your employees. If you cover the employee’s share, that amount counts as taxable wages for your employees.
Minnesota sets the premium rate annually after the first year. The state publishes the new rate by July 31 for the following year. An independent actuarial study informs the rate, and the program's performance and budgeting needs also guide it. Minnesota's Paid Leave law caps the rate at 1.1%.
Note: Small employers pay a reduced rate of 0.66% for 2026. To qualify, you must employ 30 or fewer workers and have an average employee wage less than about $107,000 (150% of the statewide average).
Some small employers can pay a lower Minnesota Paid Leave rate. You may qualify for the small employer rate (0.66%) if both are true:
You have 30 or fewer employees, and
Your average employee wage is less than 150% of the statewide average wage
You can check whether you qualify before updating your setup.
Default rate in Gusto: By default, Gusto sets all companies to the standard rate (0.88%). If your business qualifies for the small employer rate, you can change this in your Gusto account.
No matter which rate you use:
Employees pay 0.44%
Employers pay the rest
Rate examples
Standard rate (0.88%)
Employee pays 0.44%
Employer pays 0.44%
Small employer rate (0.66%)
Employee pays 0.44%
Employer pays 0.22%
If you want to pay part of your employees’ share, you can. Use the “Cover a percentage of your employees’ Paid Leave deductions” option in Gusto to set this up.
To enter your paid leave rate in Gusto:
On your homepage, find the task titled Review Minnesota Paid Leave details and click Let's do it.
Or, go to Taxes & compliance, then select Tax setup.
Scroll to Minnesota Tax Setup.
Next to Paid Leave rate, click Edit.
Select Small employer, enter the effective date, then click Save.
Note: You can only qualify for the small employer rate for an entire calendar year. You will only be able to select January 1 as the effective date, and the chosen setting will be locked in for the remainder of the year.
Employees contribute a portion of their pay to the Minnesota Paid Leave program, but you can elect to cover some or all of that amount in addition to the standard employer contribution. This will be treated as taxable wages to your employees. Learn more.
To cover your employees’ MN Paid Leave premiums:
Go to Taxes & compliance, then select Tax setup.
Scroll to Minnesota Tax Setup.
Next to Paid Leave employee portion paid by employer, click Edit.
Enter what percent of employee premiums you would like to cover. You can enter 0–100%.
If you enter 0% (the default), your employees will contribute 0.44% of wages to MN Paid Leave.
If you enter 50%, your employees will contribute 0.22% of wages, and you will pay the employer portion plus 0.22% to cover half of employee premiums.
If you enter 100%, your employees will not have MN Paid Leave taxes withheld, and you will pay the employer portion plus 0.44% to cover all employee premiums.
Enter the effective date, then click Save.
Note: You can change this setting each quarter, but you cannot change settings if you've already run a payroll in that quarter. Once you run a payroll, you can only change this setting for future quarters. This prevents retroactive withholding of employee wages, which is not permitted in many states.
We currently only support reporting for Minnesota's state Paid Leave plan. If your business applied for and received approval for a private plan substitution, you'll need to take a few extra steps.
To prevent us from collecting premiums or filing returns for MN Paid Leave on your behalf, set up a company-level exemption. Follow the steps in our Set up and manage tax exemptions article. When prompted, select My company is exempt from paying this tax and choose MN Paid Leave as the tax type.
Once the exemption is active, we will not debit premiums or submit Paid Leave tax returns for your business. You are responsible for all reporting and payments required by the state agency.
If you decide to end your private plan and enroll in the state plan, you'll need to remove the MN PFML exemption in Gusto. Once removed, we'll start paying and filing MN Paid Leave on your behalf.
By December 1, 2025, Minnesota employers must:
Display a poster about paid leave where workers can easily see it. The poster must be in English and in any other language spoken by five or more workers or contractors.
Tell each worker about paid leave in their own language within 30 days of being hired or 30 days before their paycheck starts having money taken out for paid leave.
Minnesota Paid Leave will provide the poster and a sample letter. These will be available in many languages on their website soon.
If you registered for Paid-Leave-Only, add your EAN to your Gusto account, so wage reporting is accurate.
Continue to provide new hire notices for all employees going forward.
If you're hiring a new employee or if an employee's personal or financial info has changed, they must fill out these forms before their first paycheck:
Federal Form W-4
Minnesota State Form W-4MN (the state's version of the W-4)
Employees can fill out and sign their federal W-4 form in Gusto by following these instructions.
Download Form W-4MN from the Minnesota agency website.
Have the employee complete and sign the form.
Keep a copy for your records. Do not send it to Gusto.
Employees can enter their state tax elections in Gusto:
Click My profile.
Go to Taxes.
Click Edit next to the Minnesota tax info.
If you need to update the employee's state tax info as an admin:
Go to the People section and click their name.
Go to Taxes.
Click Edit next to the Minnesota tax info.
If the form is not submitted before their first paycheck, you must withhold taxes as if they are single with no allowances.
You do not need to verify the number of allowances the employee claims.
Accept and honor each W-4 and W-4MN unless Gusto tells you otherwise.
If an employee gives you a new federal W-4, they must also give you a new W-4MN.
Use this list to find Minnesota's tax forms and where to view each one.
