Show There are two components of the state unemployment tax. The first component of the tax rate is the experience-based tax, which is based on the amount of unemployment benefits paid to former employees over the past four years. There are 40 experience rate classes, and businesses move up or down those classes based on their past experience. The second part of the tax rate is called the social cost tax. It covers unemployment costs that cannot be recovered from specific businesses - so they are shared by all employers (e.g., benefits paid to workers whose company went out of business). During economic recessions, when benefits paid far exceed taxes collected, the social-cost tax also acts like a brake to slow the decline of the unemployment trust fund so employers aren't hit by sharper, more sudden tax increases in the future.

We focus the majority of our audits on employers in industries that are more likely to misreport information or file incorrectly. However, we audit based on information from other government agencies, improper reporting identified when former workers apply for unemployment benefits, tips and leads, and randomly selected employers, to ensure broader compliance.
We joined three other state agencies in creating a new video, “How to Prepare for an Audit: A Guide for Small Businesses.” Our segment focuses on unemployment-insurance tax audits. The video answers basic questions such as: "What should I expect when an audit occurs?" and "How should I maintain my records for unemployment insurance?"
