Illinois Unemployment Monthly Reporting (IDES Monthly Filing)

 

Our Payroll Mate software now supports Illinois Unemployment Monthly Reporting as mandated by IDES. This new feature gives employers the ability to create files in a special format defined by the department of employment security and ready to upload through Taxnet (IDES online tax filing application).

In the past, only employers with 250 or more employees needed to report monthly. This threshold has been lowered to 25. Employers will continue to submit quarterly reports, but will also submit eight additional monthly wage reports. Payroll Mate supports both monthly and quarterly reporting.

The monthly IDES electronic file includes the following information on the employer side: federal employer identification number (FEIN), IL employer UI account number and total wages paid to workers during the reporting period. On the employee side the information that needs to be reported includes: first name, last name, social security number and IL unemployment wages.

Once the electronic file is created by Payroll Mate, employers will need to visit https://taxnet.ides.state.il.us , logon and upload the submission for the month. First time users will need to register and agree to the electronic filing certification. Reporting submissions may begin as early as the 16th of the current month and are due on the last day of the following month. For example employers must file October reports by November 30th, but can start filing by October 16th.
