Maine TPA + POA Requirements

Why this matters

Beyond works directly with state agencies on your behalf – reporting new hires to labor departments, calculating tax rates, paying taxes and insurance contributions, and filing necessary reports.

To do this, we must be authorized to represent your business with the tax authorities in every state where you have obligations.

For example, if your company operates in both Maine and New Hampshire, you must complete and return a Power of Attorney (POA) for each state.

Each tax office has its own process, so steps and requirements will vary. Below are the instructions for Maine.

Maine Department of Labor

Third-Party Agent (TPA) – Unemployment Insurance Tax

Provide Beyond with the following information so we can request access to your Maine Unemployment Insurance Tax self-service portal:

  • Business name as registered with the State of Maine
  • Unemployment Tax ID
  • Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN)
    • The FEIN is used to identify your business with the federal government and appears on notices from the IRS.
    • If you registered using a Social Security Number (SSN) instead of a FEIN, please include that.
