16421: MI - Employer's Quarterly Wage/Tax Report (DAS)

For filing to the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, DAS produces:

• A PDF of Form UIA-1028, Employer's Quarterly Wage/Tax Report, for record-keeping purposes.
• A .txt file for e-file.

Note: Michigan requires all Employer's Wage/Tax Reports to be filed online.

​​See Related Links below for required setup information before creating the state wage report.

To prepare the UIA-1028:

• Select the ​Employees or On the Fly menu, then select State Tax & Wage Forms.
• Make sure MI is selected, then select UIA-1028 from the Forms droplist.
• Select the applicable quarter.
• Review the form and make any necessary entries or edits.
• Make sure the e-File checkbox is marked, then select Save/Print.

  ​

Save/Print creates a watermarked PDF copy of the form for record-keeping purposes only.  If e-File was marked, a .txt file for upload to the Michigan MIWAM website is also created.

To e-file:

• Log in to the MIWAM account.
• Follow the menu options to upload the wage file.
• The file for upload can be found by browsing to the drive where DAS is installed > DrakeAccounting20YY > DAS20YYData (starting in DAS21) > Clients > client code > EFile > MI > MIUIA1028 and selecting the file named MIUIA1028_YYYY-MM-DD_HR_MIN_SEC.txt (where YYYY-MM-DD_HR_MIN_SEC is the date and time of file creation).
