Unemployment tax payment frequency—important read for "annual" payers
Nebraska's Department of Labor (DOL) provides certain employers with the option to make annual payments for unemployment insurance taxes. However, even with annual payments, it is still required to submit quarterly tax returns, including detailed information on employee work hours.
It's important to note that the DOL retains the authority to revoke the annual payment option at any time, and late payments could result in penalties and interest charges. Due to these potential risks, Niural does not support the choice to pay taxes annually, as continuing with quarterly payments eliminates any risk associated with this process.
Note: If you've already elected to pay unemployment taxes annually with the agency, notify the DOL that you will now be making quarterly payments—you can email them at “NDOL.TaxAP@nebraska.gov”.
Enter the tax account information in Niural
