Corrections to Preprinted Information
Quarterly Wage Report - UC7823
Paper Wage Reports may be filed by employers whose employment totals are below the threshold levels that require other reporting methods to be used.
Beginning with 1st Quarter 2001: Employers with 100 or more employees must file their reports via the Internet or on magnetic media.
Beginning with 3rd Quarter 2006: Employers with 75 or more employees must file their reports via the Internet or on magnetic media.
Beginning with 3rd Quarter 2007: Employers with 50 or more employees must file their reports via the Internet or on magnetic media.
Beginning with 3rd Quarter 2008: Employers with 25 or more employees must file their reports via the Internet or on magnetic media.
An optical character recognition (OCR) system is used to read information on the contribution and wage reports. Optical scanning reads typed and computer printed data and electronically converts it for computer processing. This system eliminates clerical key entry and is therefore very cost effective and accurate. The OCR can process reports at less than half the cost of clerical data entry.
Report In Specified Format
Submit wage reports on the preprinted forms provided or in the print format specified by the format guide on 8-1/2" x 11" white bond paper.
Return the original forms, not photocopies.
Please do not attempt to duplicate our forms.
If you need our forms, call us at 608-266-0353; e-mail your request to wagenet@dwd.wisconsin.gov or write us at DWD - UI Wage Record, P.O. Box 7962, Madison, WI 53707; we supply forms free of charge.
Type or Computer Print
Type or computer print all paper reports (letter quality, no dot matrix please) to ensure readability by the optical scanner. The scanner reads data, which has been typed or printed in black ink on 8-1/2" x 11" white bond paper with:
Report Social Security Number, Name and Total Gross Wages Paid
Report the social security number, name and total gross wages paid each employee for that quarter. Since Wage Reporting files are accessed by social security number, it is crucial that the number reported be accurate.
Printing Information By Hand
The OCR equipment is able to read computer printed or typewritten information ONLY. All hand written documents must be manually keyed into the computer system. If a typewriter is not available and the report must be completed by hand, PLEASE PRINT ALL INFORMATION WITH BLACK INK.
DO NOT STAPLE FORMS
Note: If you are unable to conform to the above specifications and have Internet access, you can report your quarterly Contribution/Wage Report using our web-based application, QTWRS. It is designed for employers with less than 150 employees. It is a form fill application, which asks you to fill in the wages of the employees you reported the previous quarter, and figures your UI tax liability using this information. The web address is http://uiqtwrs.wisconsin.gov. Call UI Teams at 608-261-6700 for more information.
Preprinted forms are designed for employers who consistently employ less than 100 employees.
A preprinted wage report form will be mailed to employers with their quarterly contribution report at the end of each quarter. The wage report form contains preprinted information, including the social security number and name of each employee as reported by the employer in the prior quarter. You must:
Complete wage information for employees shown;
Add SOCIAL SECURITY number, name, and wages for newly hired employees;
Leave the wage entry blank if an employee received no wage for the quarter; and
Complete the contribution portion of the report.
Samples of forms follow. Our forms are available free of charge. Photocopies of forms cannot be used. Please do not attempt to duplicate our forms.

The preprinted forms contain a preprinted list of employee names and social security numbers. If a name and/or social security number is in error:
Enter an "X" in the CHANGE column.
Draw a diagonal line through each incorrect number and/or letter.
Enter the correct data above the incorrect data.
| Change | Social Security Number | Last Name | First Name |

This preprinted form is used to report wages paid to each employee within the calendar quarter. One extra sheet is provided each quarter to report new employees.
If you are currently reporting with paper forms and have Internet access, you can file using our web-based application, QTWRS. The web address is http://uiqtwrs.wisconsin.gov.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION
If employee data is preprinted, enter the total gross wages paid to each employee in the quarter. If employee social security numbers and names are not preprinted or you want to add a new employee, enter the information in line with the example printed on the form. Enter social security number, name (last name, first name) and the total gross wage paid in the quarter.
If an employee listed was not paid during the quarter, leave the wage field blank. The employee’s name and social security number will not appear on the next quarter’s report.
Correct preprinted data by placing an “X” in the CHANGE column, drawing a line through the incorrect character and entering correct information directly above.

Wage Reports may also be created on plain white paper using a standard desktop laser or ink-jet printer. A sample of this type of report is shown on the following page. Note that the report displays the same data as the UC-7823 report, but does not contain any field labels or column headings.
With this wage reporting option, you must also complete a separate Quarterly Contribution Tax Report. For an example and instructions on form UCT-101, see Section 2, Part 4.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETION:
The report should be printed on 8½” x 11” white bond paper. The first two lines of the report contain header information, which consists of your 10-digit UI Account Number, the Quarter/Year, your Federal Employer Identification Number, and the employer’s Legal Name.
The remainder of the report displays Wage Detail information presented in four separate columns: Social Security Number, Employee Last Name (up to 10 characters), Employee First Name (up to 8 characters) and Quarterly Wage.
The first line of Wage Detail should be printed at least 2 inches below the top edge of the page. Up to 23 lines of Wage Detail may be printed on a single page. Additional pages of Wage Detail may be created if you have more than 23 employees to report.
The last line on the report shows the Page Total, which is the total of all wages paid to employees listed on that page.
In order to be read by our OCR scanner, you must use a letter quality printer. Please do not use Dot Matrix printing as it is unreadable by our OCR scanner and must be manually key entered.
Other reporting options using the same print report format are:
