Overview

For filing to the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment, DAS produces:

  • A PDF copy of Form UITR-1, Quarterly Report of Wages Paid and Premiums Owed, and UITR-1a, Report of Individual Employee's Wages.

  • A .txt file for e-file.

Note  As of September 24, 2018, Colorado began the process of moving all employers to electronic methods of filing wage reports.

To prepare the UITR-1:

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

  • Make sure CO is selected, then select UITR-1 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, then select Save/Print.

Save/Print creates a PDF copy of the UITR-1 and UITR-1a. Colorado no longer accepts paper-filed forms. When e-File is marked, a .txt file for upload to MyUI Employer+ is created.

To e-file:

  • Log in to MyUI Employer+.

  • 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 (beginning in DAS2021) > Clients > client code > EFile > CO > COUITR1 and selecting the file named COUITR1_YYYY-MM-DD_HR_MIN_SEC.txt (where YYYY-MM-DD_HR_MIN_SEC is the date and time of file creation).
