Withholding tax online services will not be available beginning March 20, 2025, due to upcoming changes

In preparation for the changes to withholding tax and wage reporting forms and Web applications, the following online services will be unavailable beginning Thursday, March 20 at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time:

  • NYS-1 Web File
  • NYS-45 Web File
  • NYS-1 Upload
  • NYS-45 Upload

We are discontinuing our stand-alone Wage Reporting Upload application within Online Services this month, March 2025.

The Tax Department is streamlining withholding tax and wage reporting forms and Web File applications. Beginning in March 2025, if you're filing for one employer, you may upload this information using our updated NYS-45 Web File application. If you're filing for multiple employers, you may use the new NYS-45 Upload. 

We've also revised the upload file layouts. For detailed information, see Significant changes coming to withholding tax and wage reporting: Web Upload.
