Don't Panic! It's Probably Right Under Your Nose (Unless You Have a Particularly Sniffly Bloodhound)
The good news is, if you've already filed reemployment taxes before, finding your number is a breeze. Just grab a cup of sweet tea (because let's face it, it's probably always hot enough for iced tea in Florida), and get ready to raid your filing cabinet (or that oh-so-organized shoebox you keep old paperwork in – no judgement here). Here's where to look:
- Previously Filed RT-6 Forms: This is your quarterly tax filing form, and your Reemployment Tax Account Number should be staring you right in the face. It's a snazzy seven-digit number, so you won't miss it.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling fancy and tech-savvy (or just don't want to dig through paper), you can also try searching for it electronically if you used a payroll service.
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
Still Stuck? Don't Be a Gator Out of Water (We Don't Want Any Poached Paychecks)
If that filing cabinet raid came up empty, or your shoebox situation is more "mystery box" than organized, no worries! Here are a couple of ways to track down your number:
Become a Florida Department of Revenue (DOR) eServices Groupie: Head over to the Florida Department of Revenue's website and register for an online account. This not only gives you access to your Reemployment Tax Account Number, but also lets you file and pay taxes electronically – perfect for all you efficiency enthusiasts (or just those who prefer not to lick a bunch of envelopes).
Channel Your Inner Indiana Jones and Call the Helpline: If the online thing isn't your jam, you can always grab your phone and dial 850-488-6800. A friendly (hopefully) DOR representative will be happy to help you find your number.
Remember: The key is to not wait until the tax man (or woman) comes knocking. Get proactive and find that number so you can avoid any unnecessary penalties (and save yourself a future headache).
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
