| State of Texas Unemployment Tax | |
| The Unemployment Tax program collects wage information and unemployment taxes from employers subject to the Texas Unemployment Compensation Act (TUCA). The taxes support the state’s Unemployment Compensation Fund, a reserve from which unemployment benefits are paid to eligible workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own. Unemployment taxes are not deducted from employee wages Liable employers must register with TWC to create a tax account and in each calendar quarter, report wages paid to employees and pay taxes due. For state unemployment tax purposes, only the first $9,000 paid to an employee by an employer during a calendar year constitutes "taxable wages." Quarterly wage reports and taxes must be filed and paid by the last day of the month following the end of the calendar quarter. For detailed information see Reporting & Determining Taxable Wages, Employer’s Quarterly Wage Report Filing Options and Payment Options for Unemployment Tax. |
