How to electronically file Texas SUTA
by Intuit• Updated 9 months ago
EasyACCT can create the MMREF-1 to E-file the TX SUTA form TX C-3.
- The state of Texas requires all employers to report Unemployment Insurance wages and pay their quarterly taxes electronically.
- The Printed Employer's Quarterly Report (C-3) option is only authorized for use by employers who have approved hardship waivers on file with the Commission.
- You will need to download and install the QuickFile program from the Texas Workforce Commission.
- QuickFile is an online wage reporting system for uploading electronic files to the state of Texas.
- It transfers wage data in the ICESA, MMREF-1, comma-delimited or fixed-length formats.
- EasyACCT creates the TXT file using the MMREF-1 format.
CREATING THE E-FILE:
- Go to Print Reports > Tax Reports > select Special SUTA Reports > Select TX.

- Review the information in the C-3 preview screen for accuracy.
- Click on the Preparer button on the right side of this screen to fill out the Preparer information before creating the MMREF-1.
- Click the MMREF-1 button in the upper right corner.
- The program creates a TXT file and prompts for a destination.
- The default destination creates a sub folder EF under the data path of the current company data.
- Example: C:\EASYWDATA\EFTXQ123XYZ.TXT, where TX=Texas, Q1=Quarter 1, 23=Year 2023, XYZ= 3 digit Company ID.
- The default destination creates a sub folder EF under the data path of the current company data.
