What is this RT Number Thing Anyway?
The Florida RT Account Number, also known as the Reemployment Tax Account Number, is your unique ID for, well, Reemployment Tax. This fancy term basically means the tax you pay to fund unemployment benefits in the Sunshine State. It's a way to help out folks who lose their jobs and are actively seeking work.
Alright, Alright, How Do I Get This Number?
There are two main ways to snag your RT Account Number:
Become a Master of the Online Universe: Head over to the Florida Department of Revenue's Account Management and Registration portal [government website, you can handle it]. Register for an online account and voila! Your RT Account Number will appear alongside a virtual fanfare (or at least a confirmation message).
Speak to a Live Human (Maybe a Robot Too?): If you're not a fan of the online world, you can always call the friendly (hopefully) folks at the Department of Revenue at (850) 488-6800. They'll be happy to help you register and get your RT Account Number.
Pro Tip: Whichever method you choose, make sure you have your business information handy, like your Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN).
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
I Already Registered a Business. Will My RT Number Appear Magically?
Not quite. If you've registered a business in Florida before, you might already have an RT Account Number. Check any past Reemployment Tax filings (Form RT-6) for that magical seven-digit number.
Lost Your Old Tax Forms? No worries! Just contact the Department of Revenue using the methods mentioned above, and they'll help you track down your number.
