USA State Payroll Rates + Resources: State of Texas: Unemployment Insurance Reporting & Payments

Unemployment Insurance Reporting & Payments

The Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) requires all employers to report Unemployment Insurance (UI) wages and remit quarterly UI taxes electronically via TWC Unemployment Tax Services. This system allows employers with 1,000 or fewer employees to file wage reports online. 

Other filing options are:

• Uploading a file (Excel or comma-separated format)

• Using an employer's last report as a starting point

• Entering the wage details manually

• Submitting a No Wages report when an employer did not pay any wages in the quarter

To file online, login, or create an account on the TWC Unemployment Tax Services page.

If the due date for a report or tax payment falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday on which Texas Workforce Commission offices are closed, reports and payments are considered timely if they are received on or before the following business day.
