From Federal/State/Local Reports (G07241), choose New Hire Reporting

From New Hire Reporting (G072411), choose Alabama thru Louisiana

From Alabama thru Louisiana (G0724111), choose the appropriate state

You print new-hire reports to provide state agencies with certain information about newly hired employees. State agencies use this information to locate non-custodial parents who have child-support obligations.

To report new-hire information for the states of Alabama through Louisiana, print the new-hire report for the appropriate state.

Because reporting requirements vary from state to state, you use a separate program to print the report for each state. If your organization has employees in more than one state, you can fulfill your new-hire reporting requirements in either of the following ways:

  • Print a separate report for each state in which your organization has employees, and submit each report to the appropriate state.

  • Print a new-hire report for one of the states in which your employees work, and include employees from multiple states on that report. Submit the report only to that state for which you printed the report.

When you choose to print only one report and include employees from multiple states, the data selection for the report must include the work-tax-area code for each state whose employees you want to include on the report.

Before you print new-hire reports, you must build a workfile that includes all of the employee records that you need to include on the report. When you build the workfile, the system automatically prints the report. When you need to print extra copies of a report for which you have already built the workfile, you can print the report without rebuilding the workfile. However, if you discover an error on the report, you must correct the employee record that is in error and then rebuild the workfile. If you print the report without rebuilding the workfile, the report will not include any changes that you made to employee records after you last built the workfile.

Before You Begin

  • Create a DREAM Writer version of the New Hire report. In the data selection, include the work-tax-area codes in which the employees work.
