Paying employees in Indiana
When hiring employees in new states, you need to register for relevant state tax accounts to facilitate their payment. In Indiana, you must be registered with the Indiana Department of Revenue (DOR) (income tax withholding) and the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DOWD) (unemployment tax).
Alternatively, Justworks Payroll can handle the registration process for you. We offer state tax registration services to assist with registering your business in new states. To request registration, please contact us at support@payroll.justworks.com.
Your Indiana Accounts and Rate Info
Indiana requires you to register online through the INBiz website. You should expect to receive your withholding Taxpayer ID in about 2–3 business days after registering online. For unemployment insurance, you will need to register on the Indiana Department of Workforce Development website. You should get your unemployment account number instantly after registering online.
