Illinois Monthly Wage Report

Companies paying SUTA in Illinois who have 25 or more employees in the past two years must file the Illinois Monthly Wage report for SUTA. The 25 employee threshold is the number of employees that a company had employed in total regardless of how many actually work in Illinois.

For more information, please visit the Illinois Department of Employment Security website.

The Monthly Wage Report is in addition to Illinois quarterly SUTA tax filing and is included in Patriot’s Full Service Payroll.
