Author: Rena Pirsos

The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (DTF) has announced that all New York employers must begin filing the following forms electronically starting with the first quarter of 2015:

  • NYS-45, Quarterly Combined Withholding, Wage Reporting, and Unemployment Insurance Return;
  • NYS-45-ATT, Quarterly Combined Withholding, Wage Reporting, and Unemployment Insurance Return - Attachment; and
  • NYS-1, Return of Tax Withheld.

The DTF is providing three filing options and is encouraging employers that are not already registered for electronic filing to register for the requisite online account as soon as possible.

The Depositing and Reporting Withheld Taxes: New York and Unemployment Insurance Tax: New York sections of the ELM have been updated and a Legal Timetable entry has been added.
