List of Services

  •  Tax and Wage Reporting  
    Any “paper" filer may file its return using this system.  You will have the option to pay by check or electronic funds transfer (EFT/ACH debit only). Get More Details

Connecticut Internet Tax and Wage System - For "paper" filers only

A “paper” filer is one who receives form UC-2 and Form UC-5A or Form UC-2R/5R from  the Department.  If you are receiving form UC-2MAG, you are not a “paper” filer.  You are listed as a “magnetic” filer.

Registered employers who have less than 250 employees and who are “paper” filers may file their UI tax and wage return via the Internet. This includes both taxable employers who file the Employer Contribution Return and Employee Quarterly Earnings Report (Form UC-2 and Form UC-5A) and reimbursable employers who file the Employer Wage and Research Information Report and Employee Quarterly Earnings Report (Form UC-2R/5R).

Only reports for the most recently completed calendar quarter may be filed using this Internet application. The site will be available for a two-month period each quarter:

  • 1st Quarter (due 4/30) the system will be available from April to May 31

  • 2nd Quarter (due 7/31) the system will be available from July 1 to August 31

  • 3rd Quarter  (due 10/31) the system will be available from October 1 to November 30

  • 4th Quarter (due 1/31) the system will be available from January 1 to February 28/29

At the present time any correction returns must be filed on paper.  The form is available at http://www.ctdol.state.ct.us/uitax/cashiers-forms.htm

FTP Tax and Wage Reporting - For Magnetic Filers Only

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) reporting option is available to employers who already file their quarterly tax and wage information on an acceptable form of magnetic media (reels, cartridges or diskettes) and have registered with the Department of Labor for the FTP option. The transfer of the file is secured using 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.

Unlike the Connecticut Internet Tax and Wage System (CITWS), FTP can be used at any time to file any quarterly information (current or delinquent). The file format for FTP is identical to files submitted on any of the other forms of media (for magnetic specifications see http://www.ctdol.state.ct.us/uitax/magnetic.htm ). If you currently file your quarterly information on reels, cartridges or diskettes, and would like to register for FTP, please complete the registration form at http://www.ctdol.state.ct.us/uitax/ftp_form1.htm .

Name, Address and Status Changes 

It is important to keep your name and address up-to-date, if for no other reason than you will get your  tax forms on time insuring that you can avoid being charged otherwise unnecessary penalties and fees.

You will want to insure that we have the correct FEIN for you as well.  The Federal government uses it to corroborate that you have paid your State UI taxes in a timely fashion.  This allows you to take a credit on your FUTA taxes. 

If you have acquired a business or sold a business or are out of business you should report that as soon as possible so that your experience rating records can be adjusted as required.  You can report those changes here too.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

You may pay your UI taxes for any quarter at any time.  This can be done independently of filing a tax and wage return unless you are a “paper” filer wishing to pay the current quarter.  Paper filers paying the current quarter must do so in conjunction with filing a current quarter return using the Internet Tax and Wage Reporting System

In order to safeguard it, your banking information is fully encrypted - both while stored and while in transmission.
