USA State Payroll Rates + Resources: State of Florida: Unemployment Insurance Reporting & Payments
Purpose
The purpose of this documentation is to outline the processes and requirements associated with Unemployment Insurance Reporting & Payments to the proper authorities in the state of Florida.
Unemployment Insurance Reporting & Payments
Employers are required to file their current year RT-6 reports and pay tax electronically on the MyFlorida website if they employed 10 or more employees in any quarter during the most recent state fiscal year (July through June).
The electronic file and payment option is available to all taxpayers, not just those who are required to electronically file and pay.
Each quarter, a preprinted Employer’s Quarterly Report (RT-6) is mailed to each liable employer who does not file and pay electronically.
Employer's Quarterly Report (RT-6) must be submitted by the end of the month following the calendar quarter for which the report is due:
| Quarter | Months in Quarter | Due Date |
| 1st Quarter | January - March | April 30th |
| 2nd Quarter | April - June | July 31st |
| 3rd Quarter | July - September | October 31st |
| 4th Quarter | October - December | January 31st |
If the payment date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the taxpayer must initiate the electronic transaction on the preceding business day. See the Florida eServices Calendar of Electronic Payment Deadlines (DR-659).
For further details, see the Florida's Employer Guide to Reemployment Tax.
Important!
Electronic payments must be initiated, and confirmation received, no later than 5:00 p.m., ET, on the business day prior to the payment due date to be considered timely.
