Creating State SUI E file

  • April 29, 2019
  • 5 replies
  • 10 views

For my quarterly unemployment reporting, I use to have to go to EMPLOYEES menu, PAYROLL TAX FOMS & W2S, CREATE STATE SUI EFILE. Now that I upgraded to 2019, when I hover over Employees  menu there is not the option to CREATE STATE SUI EFILE. How am I suppose to file my quarter unemployment report when this option is no longer there?

Hello there, @JCWatson.

 

I'm here to help you today so you'll be able to create/file the State SUI successfully.

 

To create the file successfully, you have to log in to the Account Maintenance page to validate your service key. For more information, you may check this link: Account maintenance.

 

On the other hand, you can also create the file or e-file SUI following these steps:

 

  1. Click on the Employees menu.
  2. Select Payroll Center.
  3. Click on File forms.
  4. Under Other Activities at the bottom of the page, there is a link for the E-File State SUI. This will allow you to create the file you were needing.

If the problem continues, you have to check your e-file setup.

 

To learn more about e-file, you may check this article: Understanding the E-File and E-Pay services.

 

Please feel free to add a comment below if you have any other payroll questions, I'll be always here to help you. Have a great day ahead!

    I have reported this problem on the regular phone help and was transferred also to your engineering department back in February 2019.  Both departments took over my screen and could not make the Excel spreadsheet work.  A "ticket" was submitted.

     

    I do not have enhanced payroll.  I am in Georgia which is not one of the states with eFile listed.  To get SUI information before I upgraded to QB Pro 2019, all I had to do was summarize payroll data in Excel.  Under State Wage Listing tab, there was a dropdown menu where I could select SUI.  The drop down function is not there any more. 

     

    For my 1st quarter 2019 report, I had to manually determine the figure for Excess Wages.  Do you have another work around I could use?

    Thank you for taking the time posting in Community, @Ho71_2. 

     

    I'm here to help you create the State Wage Listing report to determine the Excess Wages. Let me guide you how:

    1. From the Reports menu, select Employees & Payroll.
    2. Choose Summarize Payroll Data in Excel.
    3. Select the State Wage Listing tab. 
    4. From the Payroll Item drop-down, select GA- Unemployment Company. 
    5. Click OK. 

    I've also attached an article and screenshot for additional reference: Excel-based payroll reports.

     

    That should take care of it. I believe that you'll have the SUI excess wages information you need in just a few clicks.

     

    Drop me a comment below if you have any other questions about QuickBooks. I'll be happy to help you out.

    Any Help with South Carolina Reporting?

    Glad to have you here in the Community, @dempseykev.

     

    At this time, submitting your SUI forms for South Carolina isn't available.

     

    The South Carolina agency is updating its website portal for filing and now requires Corporate Officer data that is not available in QuickBooks Desktop's payroll data records.

     

    The agency filing designations ask whether the employee is a Corporate Officer for Corporate Officers not registered as exempt (exempt Corporate Officers are not reported on the wage lists). The payroll data does not record the Corporate Officer status registered with the state agency, and the file will be rejected if this data is incorrect.

     

    Accordingly, you can file directly with the state agency. Employers with least than 100 employees can file by paper, but the agency prefers you to file on their new website, https://www.scbos.sc.gov/

     

    For more information, you can read through the article: E-file or submit state unemployment filings.

     

    You might want to check out these articles to learn more about filing forms in QuickBooks Desktop: 

     

    Please keep in touch if there's anything else I can do to help you succeed with QuickBooks. I've got your back. Have a great day and keep safe.

    Why can I no longer create the Illinois SUI Efile for my monthly upload?  It just worked last week.  When I go thru the normal steps, it states that Illinois no longer supports this.  Why would they stop it in the middle of a quarter?

    Hello there, @jane56.

     

    This e-filing service is available for employers that report for 25 or more employees. Have you made any edits on the previous year's payroll that may have caused the eligibility for the quarterly reporting to be removed?

     

    If you have in fact reported for 25 or more employees, you'll want to reach out to QuickBooks Support to investigate further.

    Check out this article on getting in touch with our team: Contact QuickBooks products and services Support.

     

    Let me know if you have additional questions on this, I'm here to help!

    The new release 1.23 that we just did yesterday shows where it disabled SUI filing for Illinois.  I process payroll for several different clients and have encountered this same issue.

    Hello, Arianna. 

     

    I'll show you how to create an employment file for Wisconsin in QuickBooks Desktop. 

     

    You can create the unemployment file by going to the File Forms section in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how to do it: 

     

    1. Go to Employees, then hover on Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s. 
    2. Select Process Payroll Forms. 
    3. Click the Forms button, then select Make a New Form Active. 
    4. Set the state to Wisconsin, and ensure the unemployment form is active.
    5. On the File Forms tab, select the unemployment form (if it isn't selected yet).
    6. Hit Create form.
    7. Follow the instructions to create your tax form with the necessary data. 

     

    Take note that for WI unemployment form, you'll only be able to print it and file the form manually. 

     

    If you need more details in handling your tax forms manually in QuickBooks, you can check this article out: Pay and file payroll taxes and forms manually in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

     

    If you need to view your employee's totals and other payroll-related data, you can create a summary report. This article will guide you through the process: Create a payroll summary report.

     

    Please let me know if you have other concerns when managing your tax forms in QuickBooks. I'd be glad to give some steps or details about them. I can also lay down some information if you need help with other tasks in the program.

    All my forms are active for WI. The options I have are the New hire report, tax deposit, UCT-101 Quarterly contribution report, W-2 worksheet and the WT-7 report. I figured it was the UCT report but when I made it the only option to save is a PDF and the website doesn't accept that format. I need a excel report in order to format it.

    Hello there, @Arianna1981. Allow me to join the thread and help share additional information about the available UTC report file type.

     

    I understand how vital it is for you to format the UTC report. Currently, the UTC form can only be saved as a PDF file for your reference. I'd recommend using a third-party app to convert the PDF file to an Excel file.

     

    You can find an app on this website: https://desktop.apps.com/home. Once you're on the page, you can enter a keyword in the search bar such as "converter" or "convert pdf to excel file."

     

     

    I'd like to share this article you can check out in the future: Customize payroll and employee reports. This contains important notes on how you can manipulate some reports.

     

    Thank you for your time and if you have any other questions, feel free to post here anytime. Wishing you and your business continued success. Keep safe and healthy!

    was in hosp during 2nd qt filing.  The KS SUTA Aduitor had to correct the report and did it from his end.  Now QB is showing the 2nd qt filing was not done.  I need help getting that message removed so QB will allow me to file the third qt now.
