Minnesota Employer Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Minnesota Employer Kit 2027, 2027 Payroll Rate Change, 2027 Payroll Tax Setup)

Who it is for

Owners and bookkeepers running payroll for employees in Minnesota, from 2027 rate changes to unemployment tax setup.

Not the right fit if

Your employees don't work in Minnesota, or a payroll provider already handles these filings for you. Not a payroll service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Minnesota kits are built only from our Minnesota data files: Minnesota data files, checked November 2026 against 18 official pages, among them Minnesota UI: New employer account; Minnesota UI: Tax rates; Minnesota Department of Revenue: 2026 Form W-4MN; Minnesota Department of Revenue: Form MWR, Reciprocity Exemption/Affidavit of Residency for Tax Year 2026; Minnesota Department of Revenue: Wage Allocation on Form W-2; Minnesota Department of Revenue: Taxes Paid to Another State Credit (updated December 18, 2025); Minnesota New Hire Reporting Center: FAQs; Official page, plus NCSL (a vetted secondary source, marked in the kit) where no official page could be read.
• 2027 Payroll Rate Change Checklist and 2027 Payroll Tax Setup Checklist cover every state; the Minnesota kits carry the state rules.
