As of 3rd quarter 2008, employers with 25 or more employees in a quarter are required to file their Quarterly Wage Report on magnetic or electronic media.

Filing reports electronically using our online tax and wage reporting system or submitting data files using electronic or magnetic media is easier, more accurate, and more efficient. We currently accept THREE DATA FORMATS FOR INTERNET UPLOAD, ELECTRONIC AND MAGNETIC WAGE REPORTS. We strongly encourage all employers and employer agents to report their wage data electronically.

Employers and service agents using Excel to maintain and submit quarterly wage data should review our Instructions for Converting Excel Files for Internet Upload.
