Correcting Quarterly Tax Reports Office of Unemployment Compensation

In Ohio, employers are required to file a complete Quarterly Tax Return each quarter. The report consists of two sections, the Wage Detail and the Quarterly Summary. Instructions on how to correct information is shown below.

 
Correcting the Wage Detail 

Do not use any portion of the Quarterly Tax Return (JFS-20125) to correct reports previously filed.

  • To file your amendment online, please visit www.unemployment.ohio.gov.
  • To file by paper, use a Request to Amend the Quarterly Tax Return (JFS-20129) to correct wage items.
  • A separate Request to Amend the Quarterly Tax Return (JFS-20129) must be submitted for each quarter being corrected.
  • Each employee record you wish to amend should appear as it would have if submitted correctly and must contain a social security number, employee name, gross wage, and number of weeks.
  • Do not re-list employee records previously submitted correctly.
  • Do not use negative figures to report changes in gross wages or weeks.
To file magnetic tape or diskette wage reports, please contact the Wage Record Magnetic Media Coordinator at 614-752-9661 to obtain specific instructions.
