File Tax and Wage Reports
All employers who are liable for unemployment insurance (UI) must file a tax and wage report for each quarter they are in business. Active employers should receive a printed report by mail during the last week of each quarter. The report must be filed by the due date. Employers must report all wages paid to employees. However, taxes are due only on the first $8,500 per employee per year. Tax and wage reports may be filed in any of three ways: entered online, using Magnetic Media, or by mail. Each option is detailed below.

Domestic Employers must file an annual report on Form DOL-4A, which is not available online, but is mailed to Domestic Employers in December of each year. The annual report, and any payment due, must be filed on or before January 31st of the following year to be considered timely.
