Electronic Media Reporting for Unemployment Insurance Taxes
The Unemployment Insurance Contributions Bureau will accept quarterly tax
and wage reports from employers on 3 1/2" diskettes, compact disks (CDs),
or cartridge tapes.
Montana uses the nationally-accepted Interstate Conference of Employment Security Agencies (ICESA) format, specifying record type "S" for state quarterly unemployment wage detail listing.
Multi-state employers using this format can create one diskette, CD or cartridge
for reporting quarterly wage and tax records and send copies to all states
that accept the format. Each state will be able to pull from the diskette,
CD or cartridge the required information related to employment in their state.
If you file your UI report electronically (UI wage and tax data), you will receive
a UI-5E, Montana UI Employer's Quarterly Payment Transmittal. Submit your quarterly
UI payment (if owing) with the Payment Transmittal, UI-5E.
If desired, an employer may submit electronic wage information only. In that
case, the tax information must be submitted on the UI-5, Quarterly Wage Report
form with the payment attached.
Your payment and diskette/CD/cartridge must be postmarked on or before the last day of the month following the close of the quarter to avoid being classed as delinquent. They can be mailed separately; however, the Department prefers that the payment is enclosed with the diskette(s), CD(s), or cartridge(s).
If you wish to file your UI wages and/or taxes utilizing electronic media, please complete and submit the Electronic Media Reporting Application form For more information on filing by diskette, CD or cartridge tape, contact April Rose at arose@mt.gov or call 406-444-6963.
