Electronic Reporting and Payment Options
There are different options available to you to file your quarterly tax and wage reports and make payments electronically. Review the options below to determine which is best for your business.

Use the Internet Unemployment Tax and Wage System (TWS) to:
- File a Quarterly Wage Report.
