Quarterly Reports

In Michigan, unemployment tax and wage reports and tax payments are due quarterly on the following dates. If the 25th is a weekend day or holiday, the report must be received on the next business day at the latest:

APRIL 25 | JULY 25 | OCTOBER 25 | JANUARY 25

3 Important notes about filing quarterly reports:

1. You must file an Employer’s Quarterly Wage/Tax Report every quarter, even if you are unable to pay or have no payroll for the quarter.

2. If you do not submit your reports and payments accurately and on time, penalty and interest will be applied to your account. 

3. You can sign up for the Michigan Employer Advisor for payment reminders.

Your Tax Rate

The unemployment tax rate for employers is calculated using two main factors:

1. The amount an employer has paid in wages to their employees.

2. The number of former employees who have collected unemployment benefits.

You can view your current tax rates in MiUI. Click Account Maintenance and Rate History.

Late reporting and payments can increase your unemployment tax rate. The exact formula for calculating the rate is determined by UIA and can vary from year to year. Learn more about Unemployment Tax Rates.
