5% MN UI Additional Assessment

Hi there, @jhoh1234. The Minnesota Department of Unemployment Insurance (UI) is re-introducing the additional assessment tax for 2025. It is triggered when the UI Trust Fund falls below a certain level as of a certain date and will be calculated at a rate of 5% for 2025.

Also, the 5% rate is calculated against the total SUI tax due for the quarter, not employee wages. For QuickBooks Desktop employers, the additional assessment will be included in the form calculation, so they are aware of the full amount, including the added assessment, when completing the MI quarterly form. Employers can then add a liability adjustment to account for the MN AA in QuickBooks.

You can check out this article about managing State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) rate in QuickBooks: Update your State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) rate.

I'm also adding these references on how to handle underpaid and overpaid taxes:

• Resolve a payroll tax overpayment
• Fix underpaid payroll taxes

We appreciate your patience as we work to ensure QuickBooks remains compliant with state requirements. Let me know in the comments if you need anything else. We're always here for you.
