Enter the total wages paid to each employee for each quarter of the year. If no wages were paid for that quarter, please enter "0".

Wages include (a) salaries, commissions and bonuses, tips reported to the employer, separation pay, vacation pay, prizes, sick pay, payments on account of retirement; (b) the reasonable cash value of remuneration paid other than cash, such as goods, meals and lodging; and (c) any remuneration for services performed within the State which is considered wages under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act.

If you had more than eight household employees during 2008, use an additional sheet of paper and include the information in Step 2 for each additional worker. Total each Column C through F on the attachment, and write the totals on Line 15 in the appropriate column.

Add Lines 6 through 15 within each column. This is the total wages paid for each quarter.

Copy totals from line 16a above.

Write in the total wages paid in excess of the unemployment insurance taxable wage base amount for each worker. For 2008, the taxable wage base amount is $12,000 for each worker.

An employer must pay unemployment insurance contributions on only the first $12,000 in wages for each employee.

Example: You have one household employee that you pay $5,000 each quarter. During the first and second quarter, the wages paid to the employee total $10,000, so you would enter “0” in each column for the first and second quarters. During the third quarter, the total amount paid to the employee reaches $15,000 which exceeds the $12,000 unemployment insurance taxable wage base by $3,000. So the amount to be entered on Line 17 for the third quarter, is $3,000 ($15,000-$12,000). The fourth quarter wages of $5,000 must be entered on Line 17 for the fourth quarter since the wage base was met during the third quarter.

Subtract Line 17 from Line 16b and enter the result on Line 18. These are your taxable wages.

For each quarter, calculate your unemployment insurance contribution. Within each column, complete either Line 19 or 20, whichever is applicable.

Quarter totals: Enter the amount from Line 19 or 20 in each column. This is your contribution due for each quarter.

Grand total. Add the quarterly totals from Line 21 (Columns C, D, E and F) and enter the result on Line 22. This is your 2008 total unemployment insurance contributions due.
