Instructions for closing your NY Unemployment and Withholding accounts:
- Let your previous payroll provider know to indicate final return on the quarterly returns for New York (NYS-45) for the final quarter they processed for your business.
- If you permanently ceased paying wages, enter the date of the final payroll. The date listed should be the day before your Teamworks start date.
- Once filed and processed, this designation will instruct New York to close both your Unemployment and Withholding Accounts.
If you’re having trouble completing the online account setup process, please contact the state’s customer service line for assistance.
