For filing to the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services (ADWS), DAS produces:

See State W-2 Creation and Upload for required setup before creating the state wage report.

To prepare the 209-B/209-C:

  • Select the Employees or On the Fly menu, then select State Tax & Wage Forms.

  • Make sure AR is selected, then select 209-B 209-C from the Forms droplist.

  • Select the applicable quarter.

  • Review the form and make any necessary entries or edits.

  • Make sure the e-File checkbox is marked (if e-filing), then select Save/Print.

Save/Print creates a PDF copy of the form that can be printed and paper-filed. If e-File was marked, a .txt file will be created that can be uploaded to the UI Employer Services portal.

To e-file:

  • Log in to the Arkansas UI Employer Services portal.

  • Follow the menu options to upload the wage file.

  • The file for upload can be found by browsing to the drive where DAS is installed > DrakeAccounting20YY > DAS20YYData > Clients > client code > EFile > AR > AR209B209C and selecting the file named AR209B.txt.

Note  Because Arkansas requires a specific file name for uploading, each time the form is saved, the previously saved form will be overwritten. There will not be a saved TXT file for each quarterly report.

For more information regarding creating and filing Form 209-B, see the ADWS Employer UI Information webpage.
