The monthly reporting requirement will be phased in as follows (a report for a month is due no later than the last day of the following month):
1) 250 or more employees, effective for January, 2013 wages
2) 100 – 249 employees, effective for July, 2013 wages
3) 50 – 99 employees, effective for January, 2014 wages
4) 25 – 49 employees, effective for July, 2014 wages Monthly wage filing must be submitted via TaxNet, the Illinois Department of Employment Security’s online tax filing application. If you are not already filing quarterly wage reports electronically via TaxNet, an Electronic Filing Certification must be filed prior to the initial electronic submission.
