Idaho New Employer Information
Congratulations on your decision to become a new employer in Idaho! You will need a few things in place before you run your first payroll:
Federal and State Tax Accounts
Federal Tax Accounts:
- Although it is not mandatory, we recommend creating an account with the EFTPS. You can easily register online. You will need to have this account to make tax payments online or view whatever payroll tax filings have been made on your behalf by Patriot.
- To find out more about EFTPS, read our article, “What Is EFTPS?”
State of Idaho Tax Accounts:
- You can easily register online with the Idaho Business Registration System.
- By registering with the Idaho Business Registration System, you can apply for both the state income tax (SIT) for payroll withholding and your state unemployment insurance (SUI) tax account for your business.
Setting Up Your New Employee:
- Have employees fill out Form ID W-4 Idaho Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate for Idaho state income taxes.
Once you have all the necessary information, you will be able to set up your payroll for your business.
You will be required to keep employee payroll records for at least three years. For more information, read our help article, “What Employers Should Know About Employee Payroll Records”
