Minnesota Paid Leave reporting

Minnesota Paid Leave is reported through Minnesota Unemployment Insurance. Reporting can vary based on the type of employees an employer has.
For employers with employees that are subject to both MN UI tax and MN FLI, their wages will be reported together using the DEED-1D.
For employers with employees that aren't subject to MN UI tax but are subject to MN FLI, Minnesota will require them to obtain a separate MN UI Account for Paid Leave reporting. Their
MN Paid Leave Only ID
 may be entered at
Client Setup
Payroll Taxes tab
Forms section
Minnesota
Additional Information
.
Entering a
Paid Leave Only ID
 will generate a separate form for reporting, so that the employer will have both a DEED-1D for UI reporting and a DEED-FLI for FLI reporting.
