Employers are no longer required to file Form DE 7, Annual Reconciliation Statement, or Form DE 6, Quarterly Wage and Withholding Report.

Effective January 2011, employers are required quarterly to file both of the following forms:

• Form DE 9, Quarterly Contribution Return and Report of Wages — for reporting total subject wages, Unemployment Insurance (UI), Employment Training Tax (ETT), and Disability Insurance (DI) taxable wages and contributions, and Personal Income Tax (PIT) subject wages and withholdings; and
• Form DE 9C, Quarterly Contribution Return and Report of Wages (Continuation) — for reporting employee wages and personal income tax withheld.

Note: This quarterly reporting change does not affect annual household employers, Disability Insurance Voluntary Plan filers, or Disability Insurance Elective Coverage filers.
