Overview

For filing to the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, DAS produces:

  • A PDF of Form UIA-1028, Employer's Quarterly Wage/Tax Report, for record-keeping purposes.

  • A .txt file for e-file.

Note  Michigan requires all Employer's Wage/Tax Reports to be filed online.

Preparing Form UIA-1028

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

  2. Make sure MI is selected, then select UIA-1028 from the Forms droplist.

  3. Select the applicable quarter.

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

  5. Make sure the e-File checkbox is marked, then select Save/Print.

Note  Save/Print creates a watermarked PDF copy of the form for record-keeping purposes only. If e-File was marked, a .txt file for upload to the Michigan MIWAM website is also created.

e-Filing Form UIA-1028

  1. Log in to the MIWAM account.
