Copy Names and Social Security Numbers from Previous Quarters

This is similar to the online manual entry method, but even easier. This option brings forward the employee information entered for a previous quarter – you just enter the hours worked and current quarter wage information and the Minnesota Unemployment Insurance online Employer Self-Service System calculates the tax due.
