My Iowa UI Online Tax System

Iowa Workforce Development is launching a new online tax system called My Iowa UI effective with 2nd quarter of 2010. This system allows employers, doing business in the State of Iowa, to set up and manage their Unemployment Insurance Tax account.  Employers will electronically file the quarterly Employer’s Contribution & Payroll Report and pay Unemployment Insurance Contributions online. My Iowa UI also allows 3rd Party Filers (Agents) to manage an employer’s unemployment tax account with proper authorization.
