Set up unemployment data:

Field	Description
Calendar Year	The current calendar year is displayed in the YYYY format. Verify that you are in the correct calendar year. If not, type the four-digit calendar year and click Retrieve to retrieve the applicable records for that year.

Employer Type	Click to select an employer type. R - Reimbursable A reimbursable employer: Pays into the state unemployment fund, in lieu of taxes, an amount equal to the amount of benefits paid to former employees for service while employed by the employer. Reports wages for employees and is billed quarterly for the amount of regular benefits and 50% of the extended benefits paid to former employees during the prior quarter. Makes no tax payments but is subject to the same penalties for failure to file reports and/or make payments on time. T - Taxable A taxable employer: Pays a tax assessed by the TWC based on taxable wages paid during a quarter, multiplied by the effective tax rate of the employer. Reports the total amount of gross wages and the total amount of taxable wages paid, and provides employee wage list with all employee names/social security numbers/total gross wage paid quarterly. Pays tax quarterly.
Unemployment Rate	Type the percent rate determined or assigned by the TWC (e.g., 0.4985% for 0.004985).
Maximum Gross Salary	Type the maximum amount of an employee salary on which unemployment is calculated. If no maximum is assigned, type 9,999,999.99. If the field is left blank, the system considers the maximum salary to be 0,000,000.00. Since this value is reached before the first paycheck is issued, the unemployment is not calculated.
