Unemployment Tax Services
Features

  • Submit Quarterly Wage Reports. Submit quarterly wage reports (up to 1,000 employees), using one of three options for providing wage details: file upload, use the last wage report to pre-populate employee information, and manual entry. Submit a No Wages report when an employer didn't pay any wages in the quarter. Internet Wage Report Filing FAQ provides more information.
     
  • Pay Unemployment Tax. Payments can be made using the Automated Clearing House (ACH) debit method, credit card, or check. ACH debit payments can be scheduled in advance of the actual payment date. Credit card payments can be made using American Express, Discover, MasterCard or Visa. A remittance form is also available, if the employer prefers to pay by check. ACH debit and check payment methods are provided free of charge. Unemployment Tax Payments FAQ provides more information.
