Overview
For filing to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) website, DAS produces:
-
A .txt or .csv file that can be uploaded to the DWD website.
-
A PDF of the report that can be printed for record-keeping purposes only.
Note Indiana does not allow software vendors to create a printed report that can be mailed in.
To prepare the report:
-
Select the Employees or On the Fly menu, then select State Tax & Wage Forms.
-
Make sure IN is selected, then select UC-5A from the Forms drop list.
-
Select the applicable quarter.
-
Review the form and make any necessary entries or edits.
-
Make sure the e-file checkbox is marked, then select Save/Print. This creates the watermarked PDF for record-keeping purposes, as well as the .txt file to upload to Indiana DWD. The option to save as a .csv file is also available.
To upload:
-
Log in to the Indiana DWD Employer Self Service website.
-
Follow the menu options to upload the file.
-
The upload file can be found by browsing to the drive where DAS is installed > DrakeAccounting20YY > DAS20YYData > Clients > client code > EFile > IN > INUC5A (DrakeAccounting20YY > Clients > client code > EFile > IN > INUC5A in DAS20 and prior) and selecting the file named IN_UIWAGE_Qtr#.TXT or IN_UIWAGE_QTR#.CSV (where # is the quarter for which the file was produced).
