Get Illinois Ui Ha Form

• Misconception 1: The Illinois UI Ha form is only for full-time employees.

This form applies to both full-time and part-time household employees. All employees who performed services and received pay during the relevant payroll periods must be reported.

• Misconception 2: I don't need to report wages if I didn't pay any during a quarter.

If no wages were paid during a quarter, you must still enter "0" for that quarter. This ensures accurate reporting and compliance with state requirements.

• Misconception 3: The taxable wage base is the same every year.

The taxable wage base can change annually. For 2012, it was set at $13,560. Always check for updates for the current year.

• Misconception 4: I can submit the form without a signature.

The report must be signed by the person named in the form. If someone else signs it, a Power of Attorney must be attached to validate the submission.

• Misconception 5: I can ignore penalties and interest if I miss the filing deadline.
• Misconception 6: The form only requires employee names and not their Social Security numbers.

Each household employee’s Social Security number must be included on the form. This information is necessary for accurate reporting and compliance.

• Misconception 7: I can combine multiple employees' wages into one entry.

Each employee's wages must be reported separately. This includes entering their total wages for each quarter individually.

• Misconception 8: I can submit the form electronically without prior registration.

Filing online requires prior registration with the Illinois Department of Employment Security. Ensure you complete this step before attempting to file electronically.

• Misconception 9: It's acceptable to report estimated wages.

Actual wages must be reported. Estimates can lead to discrepancies and potential penalties, so accurate records are essential.

• Misconception 10: I can disregard previous payments when calculating my current contribution.

Previous payments must be accounted for when determining your current contribution due. This ensures accurate reporting and compliance with state regulations.
