Verification of Tax Rates
Tax rate information is only supplied to agents having a Power of Attorney
on file with us for each employer for which data is requested. The taxrate reporting program
can be run at any time during a calendar year toreport the current year tax rates. Tax rates for
the next calendar year are also available from approximately November 15 through the end of the year.
Agents using this service must have an account established on our FTP
server. The agent will FTP a file of client account numbers in the specifiedformat to their
folder on the FTP server. The file will be processed and the updated file can be retrieved
from the FTP server after 8:00 a.m. E.T. on the next business day. Below are links to download

Verification of Account Numbers
Account number information is only supplied to agents having a Power of Attorney
on file for each employer for which data is requested.
The Employment Security Commission (ESC) has a utility program
that will match an Employer's Federal Identification Number (FEIN) to
a North Carolina reporting number. A paper report is produced that
lists the FEIN, State reporting number, and current year tax rate.
Additional reports are produced for the following conditions:
- FEIN not on file
- Duplicate accounts with the same FEIN
- Terminated accounts
It is requested that, in addition to the magnetic media, a printout
listing the FEIN, name and address of the employer be included. The
printout should be in FEIN order. The printout will be used to resolve
questions involving duplicate accounts and no accounts.
The magnetic media, printouts from the service bureau, and printouts
from the ESC program will all be returned to the service bureau. The
tax rates indicated on the reports will be for the current tax year
only.
