SECTION 3: Completed By Contributing Employers Only

Excess Wages: Determine how much of each employee’s wages reported under “Gross Wages Paid This Quarter” is in excess of the annual taxable wage limit of $9,500. Wages paid to an individual by a single employing unit that exceed the taxable wage limit for that year are not taxable. For example: An employee is paid $3,250 per quarter, and the taxable wage limit for that year is $9,500. Quarterly wages are reported as follows:

NOTE FOR SUCCESSOR EMPLOYERS. Include the employee’s wages previously reported by a predecessor employer when determining excess wages within the same calendar year.

MULTI-STATE EMPLOYERS whose employees work in two or more states in one year should include all of an individual’s wages previously reported in another state when determining excess wages reportable to the UIA in the calendar year.

Taxable Wages: Total Gross Quarterly Wages minus Excess Wages equals Taxable Wages. This is the current amount of each employee’s wages that is taxable for unemployment tax purposes.

UI Tax Rate: The tax rate will be indicated on pre- printed reports. If you do not know your tax rate, see the CONTACT US section of these instructions.

UI Tax Due (Rounded): Multiply “Taxable Wages” by “UI Tax Rate.” For example, if your tax rate is 3%, multiply your Taxable Wages by .03. Add that amount to any “Prior Balance” to calculate the total Tax Due. Please refer to Fact Sheet 152, available at www.michigan.gov/uia, for information on rounding of tax due.

Obligation Assessment (OA) Rate: The Obligation Assessment Rate will be indicated on pre-printed reports. Please refer to Fact Sheet 146, available at www.michigan.gov/uia, for information on the Obligation Assessment.

OA Due: Multiply “Taxable Wages” by “OA Rate.” Do not round this figure.The calculation of the OA takes into consideration the employer’s current tax rate, the OA ratio, a base assessment, and the taxable wage base. (Tax rate x OA ratio) + (base assessment ÷ taxable wage base)

Total Tax Due: This figure is the sum of the Rounded Tax Due and Non-Rounded Tax Due figures.

Prior Balance: Indicates any prior balance for which you are responsible. Specific details can be viewed on your MiWAM account or by calling the telephone numbers shown below in the Contact Us section.

Amount Enclosed: Enter amount of the payment being submitted. If no tax is due or no remittance is being submitted, enter 0.

Taxable Wage Limit: The current taxable wage limit is $9,500. Wages paid to an individual by a single employing unit that exceed the taxable wage limit for the year are not taxable.
