The deadline is approaching!

With the compliance date rapidly approaching, employers are reminded that beginning January 1, 2017, employers with 10 or more employees will be required to electronically submit employment tax returns, wage reports, and payroll tax deposits to the Employment Development Department (EDD).

This requirement will expand to all employers beginning January 1, 2018.

AB 1245 (Cooley; D-Rancho Cordova, Statutes of 2015) requires electronic reporting for unemployment insurance reports submitted to the EDD. It also requires employers to remit contributions for unemployment insurance taxes by electronic funds transfer.

Any employer required under existing law to electronically submit wage reports and/or electronic funds transfer to the EDD will remain subject to those requirements.

The EDD encourages employers to enroll now in e-Services for Business so they can start reporting online before this mandate begins.

Penalties for Not Complying with the E-file and E-pay Mandate

Penalties will be incurred for noncompliance with this mandate. To avoid the penalties, enroll in e-Services for Business.
