Drake Accounting®: How do I create and file the Indiana Unemployment Insurance Quarterly Tax Report?
For filing to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) website, DAS produces:
- A .txt or .csv file that can be uploaded to the DWD website.
- A PDF of the report that can be printed for record-keeping purposes only.
Indiana does not allow software vendors to create a printed report that can be mailed in.
See Related Links below for required setup before creating the state wage report.
To prepare the report:
- Select the Employees or On the Fly menu, then select State Tax & Wage Forms.
- Make sure IN is selected, then select UC-5A from the Forms drop list.
- 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. This creates the watermarked PDF for record-keeping purposes, as well as the .txt file to upload to Indiana DWD. The option to save as a .csv file is also available.
To upload:
- Log in to the Indiana DWD Employer Self Service website.
- Follow the menu options to upload the file.
- The upload file can be found by browsing to the drive where DAS is installed > DrakeAccounting20YY > DAS20YYData > Clients > client code > EFile > IN > INUC5A (DrakeAccounting20YY > Clients > client code > EFile > IN > INUC5A in DAS20 and prior) and selecting the file named IN_UIWAGE_Qtr#.TXT or IN_UIWAGE_QTR#.CSV (where # is the quarter for which the file was produced).
