The Iowa Workforce Development has recently made some changes that will impact your second quarter of 2010 tax filing.
First, as a reminder, the taxable wage base has increased from $23,700 in 2009 to $24,500 for 2010.
Effective April 1, 2010, the UI account number format has been revised for all Iowa employers. Although similar, your new account number will contain zeros at the beginning to make (8) digits and will drop the check digit after the dash. For example, if your current account number is 123456-7, your new account number will be 00123456. As another example, if your current account number is 001234-5, your new account number will be 00001234.
In addition, starting with the upcoming quarter, “My Iowa UI” Online Tax System will replace the Unemployment Insurance Tax System (UITS) which is currently in operation.
