The Alabama Department of Labor has released its 2023 Tax Rate Notices in the last few weeks.  Since paper copies of these notices are no longer mailed, employers should log into their Alabama Department of Labor eGov account to access the 2023 rate notice. We have seen significant changes in the rates for 2023, so it is more important than ever to download your rate and update it in your payroll processing software or provide it to your payroll processor.  Spoiler Alert: most rates are lower.

Note for QuickBooks Online users:  Intuit has a minimum rate set, so it may not allow you to enter these new lower rates.  We have found that the easiest way to change that is to reach out to QuickBooks Online support directly.

If you have any Alabama unemployment tax questions, visit the ADOL FAQ page or reach out to your JMF professional.
