Employer tax ID numbers

The account numbers each state issues to an employer for payroll taxes (income tax withholding, unemployment insurance, paid leave and disability, other state payroll taxes): what each is called, its layout, who issues it and where to find it, from the agencies' own pages.

Layout: 9 is a digit, A is a letter, other characters are shown as the agency writes them. No real account numbers appear on this site.

How each number is obtained and where to find it are on each state's page (click the state).
