Drake Accounting®: How do I create and file the Illinois UI-3/40, Employer's contribution and Wage Report?
For filing to the Illinois Department of Employment Security (DES), DAS can produce the following documents for Quarterly wage reports:
- A .pdf copy of Form UI-3/40 Employer's Contribution and Wage Report that can be printed and paper-filed.
- A .csv file formatted to ICESA standards for e-filing.
See Related Links below for required setup before creating state wage forms.
To prepare the Quarterly Report:
- Select the Employees or On the Fly menu, then State Tax & Wage Forms.
- Make sure IL is selected, then select UI340 from the Form drop list.
- Select the applicable quarter.
- Review the form and make any necessary entries or edits.
- Make sure e-file is selected (if e-filing), then select Save/Print.
Save/Print produces a watermarked PDF copy of the form and the .csv file for upload to the Illinois DES.
To e-file the Quarterly Report:
- Log in to MyTax Illinois.
- Follow the menu options to upload the file(s).
- The Quarterly Report can be found by browsing to the drive DAS is installed on > DrakeAccounting20YY > DAS20YYData > Clients > client code > EFile > IL > ILUI340 (DrakeAccounting20YY > Clients > client code > EFile > IL > ILUI340 in DAS20 and prior) and selecting the file named ILUI340_YYYY-MM-DD_HR_MIN_SEC.csv (where YYYY-MM-DD_HR_MIN_SEC is the date and time of the file creation).
