Drake Accounting - AR - Filing Form 209-B/209-C
Article #: 16397
Last Updated: December 05, 2024
For filing to the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services (ADWS), DAS produces:
-
A PDF of Form 209-B, Employer's Quarterly Contribution And Wage Report, and Form 209-C, Continuation Sheet For Form 209-B.
-
A .txt file for upload to the Arkansas Online Unemployment Insurance Employer Services portal.
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.
