Granting third-party access within each state (N-Z)

We require that you grant BambooHR third-party access to your tax account on the E-Services website for each state in which you have active employees. This ensures the accuracy of your tax ID numbers, rates, and status. Please note that access can only be granted once a tax ID has been entered in BambooHR. You can find instructions on access for each applicable state below.

When setting up each state, you should only grant the requested access and ensure that notices continue being mailed to you, not BambooHR. If you receive a notice, you can forward that to BambooHR Support for research and resolution.
