HR Fast Facts: What Is a Quarterly Wage and Tax Report?

The Quarterly Wage and Tax Report document is used by employers to report wage and payroll tax withholding information each quarter. Employees need to file these on a quarterly basis with each state, district, and territory in which they pay employees in order to stay compliant with their state unemployment insurance (SUTA) payments. These reports are a crucial function of employer taxes. This document is also known as the DE9C in California, and the NYS-45 in New York.
