How to Add Idaho Unemployment Insurance

If you do business in the state of Idaho, you must register for Idaho unemployment insurance. You will receive a rate notice from the Idaho Department of Labor each year. Your rate is based on your industry and unemployment claim history. There are three components that make up your total unemployment tax rate:

• Unemployment Contribution Rate
