Employers must file quarterly wage and tax reports electronically via KUIP. Third-party administrators must also file quarterly wage and tax reports on behalf of employers electronically via KUIP. Reports may be uploaded into the portal or the information in a report may be manually entered in KUIP.
For assistance obtaining login credentials or activating a new employer or TPA account, visit the Obtain New KEIN/Activation Code page.
KUIP accepts two types of wage and tax report file formats: ICESA E and S records, and comma-delimited (CSV) records. Be aware that the ICESA file format specifications have changed.
Employers who report by electronic media have the option to make their tax payments via electronic fund transfer (EFT) or major credit card (a fee is applied to all credit card transactions). Information may be found in the KUIP portal.
