State-by-State Payroll Tax Filing Requirements
When filing New Hire, State Withholding, and Unemployment Insurance (UI) reports, it’s essential to understand each state’s specific filing requirements. Many states require these forms to be filed directly with state agencies, and some may also mandate additional forms or annual reconciliation documents.
To help you navigate these state-specific requirements, the table below provides detailed filing information for each state.
