Drake Accounting®: How do I create and file the Kentucky UI-3?
For filing to the Kentucky Office of Unemployment Insurance (OUI), DAS produces:
- A PDF copy of form UI-3, Employer's Quarterly Unemployment Tax Worksheet, for record-keeping purposes.
- A .txt file for e-file.
Note: Employers who have ten or more employees must file electronically.
See Related Links below for required setup information before creating the state wage report.
To prepare the UI-3:
- Select the Employees or On the Fly menu, then select State Tax & Wage Forms.
- Make sure KY is selected, then select UI-3 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 PDF copy of the form for record-keeping purposes. If e-File was marked, a .txt file for upload to the Kentucky Unemployment Insurance Self-Service Website is also created.
To e-file:
- Log in to the Kentucky Unemployment Insurance Self-Service Website.
- 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 (beginning in DAS21) > Clients > client code > EFile > KY > KYUI3 and selecting the file named KYUI3_YYYY-MM-DD_HR_MIN_SEC.txt (where YYYY-MM-DD_HR_MIN_SEC is the date and time of file creation).
