I recently created a single member LLC and filed form 2553 with the IRS to be classified as a Sub-S for tax purposes. I am the founder and only employee of the company with no plans to expand. In the state of Georgia, do I need to pay State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) assuming the IRS grants my request? I have my payroll processed via ADP and this seems to be a grey area that requires the expert opinion of an accountant familiar with GA code. Please provide info to back up your answer. Thanks!

Hello G_Wheeler

In GA state, employers pays the cost of Unemployment Insurance. S-corp. is a separate entity and you will be the employee. So S-corp. will pay the SUI taxes.
