The Change of Business Status-Taxpaying to Reimbursing screen will display either the amount that must be paid (based on previous benefits paid charges and taxes paid) or a credit that can be applied to future benefits paid charges.

NOTE: Only governmental agencies and nonprofit 501 (c)(3) corporations are eligible to change from taxpaying to reimbursing. All changes must be completed by November 30 to be effective the following year. If your newly registered Minnesota Unemployment Insurance Employer Account has been set up as taxpaying you have 30 days from the date of registration to change your election to reimbursing. All elections to change coverage from taxpaying to reimbursing cannot be canceled for at least two calendar years. This option will not display if there is any debt on the account.
