Upgrading to the latest version of EAMS
If you haven’t done so already, you will need to upgrade to the latest version of the Employer Account Management Services (EAMS) system before you file your fourth quarter tax report.
We are gradually making more filers eligible for upgrade. If you’re eligible, you’ll see an upgrade alert after logging in. All employers will be eligible for an upgrade in time to file their fourth quarter report.
It’s easy:
- Log into SecureAccess Washington (SAW) and sign into EAMS.
- If you’re eligible to upgrade, you will see an upgrade alert at the top of the page.
- Select the link and follow the instructions.
Once you’ve upgraded in EAMS, here are a few things to know about filing your tax report:
- If you file a combined unemployment tax report for multiple employers in one file, you need to use our new bulk filing format specifications.
- If you file an unemployment tax report for yourself or one employer at a time, our format has changed. Learn more on our website.
- When you log into SAW in the future, choose the new version of EAMS to file your taxes. You won’t be able to use the old version of EAMS to file after you upgrade.
Register for our Dec. 9 webinar or watch a recorded one.
Reporting Standard Occupational Classification codes
SOC is a federal coding system that helps government agencies and private businesses compare occupational data. All employers are now required to report SOC codes when they submit their quarterly tax reports starting with their fourth quarter 2022 report.
But don’t worry! We’re here to help.
