Important information regarding scheduling withholding tax payments and e-filing first-quarter 2025 returns
Due to the upcoming changes to withholding tax and wage reporting, you cannot currently schedule payments for dates after March 20, 2025, or electronically file first-quarter 2025 returns. When our changes are live, you will be able to resume scheduling payments and begin electronically filing first-quarter NYS-45 returns.
If you need to report you permanently ceased paying wages subject to withholding prior to March 20, 2025, you must submit a paper Form NYS-45, Quarterly Combined Withholding, Wage Reporting, and Unemployment Insurance Return.
