CREATE STATE QTRLY UNEMPL MAG MEDIA 

Use this screen to create magnetic media files for submission of quarterly state reports. The state in which an employee is working is determined by using the SUTA State field in the Employee Earnings table.

Refer to the Tax Tables documentation for additional tax information by state.

Create the magnetic media files at the end of each calendar quarter for submission to the state(s). Print the State Quarterly Unemployment Report in order to provide backup information relating to amounts on the state magnetic media report.

This application includes multi-state functionality. This functionality allows for the proper computation of withholdings for employees who work in multiple states during one pay period. Since new tables are needed for this multi state calculation, the Create State Qtrly Unempl Mag Media application will have to look to a new table, EMPL_EARN_STATE. The states that will use the new calculation include: OH, CA, NY, IA and SC.

New functionality allows you to create a mag media file for Nebraska State Unemployment.
