Washington, DC employer registration

We'll help you coordinate an appointment with a virtual notary to sign Power of Attorney forms to let us and your payroll company file tax forms on your behalf.
 
Once complete, we'll register you with:
Tax portal: DC DOES for paying and managing your tax accounts
We'll securely share your login credentials along with your Employer IDs
State income tax: Washington D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue and Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs
You'll get your business license, account number and tax deposit schedule within about about a week
State unemployment tax: Washington D.C. Department of Employment Services and Paid Family Leave
You'll get your unemployment tax account number and tax rate within a few days after you run your first payroll

Sit back and relax—we'll let you know if we need anything else from you along the way. Most of the time you won't need to do anything until it's time to enter your new Employer IDs and tax rates into your payroll system.

Once Washington, DC issues your Employer IDs, we'll work with you to set up access to DC DOES and enter your account numbers and tax rates into your payroll correctly.

If you have any questions in the future, we won't leave you hanging. We offer ongoing support packages in case anything goes wrong (and to make sure nothing goes wrong in the first place).
