SECTION 8: ELECTRONIC FILING and PAYMENTS 

The department encourages employers to file their quarterly reports in electronic media format rather than paper forms. The department believes this will save time for both you and us in processing your report, and will result in more accurate wage and tax information in our files. Since accurate data is the key to proper tax payments and to timely benefit payment processing, everyone stands to benefit from electronic reporting.  We currently offer two methods for filing electronically: 

Before you start reporting or paying via any electronic method, you must submit the appropriate application from this booklet.

If you have any questions regarding the electronic methods offered please contact the Electronic Tax Reporting section at (406) 444-3834, P.O. Box 6339 Helena, MT 59604-6339.

Internet Filing and ACH Debit Payment Program: WARP on the Web Warp image

The Wage Automated Reporting Program (WARP) On the Web (WOW) program allows you to file your Unemployment Insurance quarterly tax and wage report and/or pay your taxes electronically. The tax and wage report program computes each employee’s excess wages and calculates the tax due once you enter the quarterly wages for each employee.   Employee wages can also be uploaded from a properly formatted text file.  The electronic payment option is an ACH debit program the department creates and sends to your bank based on the amount of tax you are paying.

If you are interested in filing or paying with WOW, go to http://uid.dli.mt.gov/, click on the WARP icon (same as picture above) and take a tour of its features.

If you have not used this application before but would like to, you must first register (see the Registration and Authorization form). For more information on WOW, contact April Rose at arose@mt.gov or call 406-444-6963.
