Texas - State Unemployment Insurance

Texas is what's referred to as a PEO-reporting state for unemployment insurance. Justworks will report unemployment taxes under the Justworks unemployment account number. State unemployment charges will be invoiced by Justworks; your company’s SUI rate no longer applies in Texas. If your business filed under your account for the prior quarter, you will need to suspend or close your previous unemployment account.
