If you received notice of a revised State Unemployment Insurance (SUI) rate effective January 1 of the new year, make sure to enter your new rate before you pay and file your 1st quarter tax returns.

To change your SUI rate:

4. Enter your new rate as a percentage from the notice you received from your state. For example, enter 3.4% (not .034).

   Delete a rate only if you made a mistake when you entered it and if you haven't made any payments yet at the incorrect rate. If the rate is incorrect, but you've made payments at the incorrect rate, don't delete it.
   
   When the tax agency notifies you that you have a new rate, or if you discover that a rate you've been using is incorrect, enter the new rate and effective date, but do not delete the previous rate. It's part of your historical records.

5. Enter the Effective Date from the notice you received from your state.
   
6. Click OK.
