State Information to Help Apply for Account Numbers
Objectives:
Our clients need an account number for each tax code/Federal Employer ID Number (FEIN) they have set up with AllianceHCM. These account numbers come from state agencies, and each client is responsible for applying for and getting their own account number by registering with the state.
AllianceHCM may use an applied account number as a placeholder within its tax services, but each client should provide their actual account number to AllianceHCM Tax Support as early as possible.
This article will help you determine how to apply for an account number within a state. Clients have the option to use Middesk to help apply for an account number; we've included information on how to use that if you'd like to take that route.
What's in this article?
Information about using Middesk as an option to help apply for account numbers and state-by-state information to help apply for account numbers.
đź’ˇGood to know: AllianceHCM tries to keep up to date with all of the contact information and details for each state, but please verify all of the information in your specific state if needed.
Using Middesk to Help Apply for Account Numbers
Middesk is an optional, paid service that assists clients in applying for their account number. While not mandatory, it provides valuable guidance for those who need assistance or are too busy to handle the application process themselves.
