Balancing Quarterly Unemployment Data and Reporting Excess Wages

When you create unemployment reports, you must first balance quarterly unemployment data.

Use the Unemployment Continuation Form (PR291) to produce a listing of data required on continuation forms for quarterly state unemployment reporting. The report includes the employee name and Social Security Number along with the report items you select.

Use Quarterly Report (PR290) to produce a report of employees who have withholding deductions associated with specific tax authorities. The report includes quarterly gross wages, year-to-date gross wages, quarterly taxable wages, year-to-date taxable wages, quarterly taxes paid, and year-to-date taxes paid for each employee for the payroll quarter and year you specify in the report parameters.

Payroll calculates excess wages for unemployment deductions in each payroll cycle. Use Adjustment (PR82.1) to make adjustments to excess and taxable wages.
