Indiana Overview

Indiana employers subject to unemployment insurance must file Form UC-1/5A (Employer's Quarterly Report) with the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD). The report includes the employer's quarterly unemployment insurance contributions and wage information for covered employees.

The TaxBandits API supports automating Form UC-1/5A for Indiana UI reporting.

  • UI contributions. Employers must report taxable wages and calculate the unemployment insurance contributions due based on Indiana requirements.
  • Electronic filing. TaxBandits enables employers to prepare and electronically transmit the UC-1/5A through the Public API.
