North Carolina Form NCUI-101, Employer's Quarterly Tax and Wage Report

Click the link to see the form instructions.

You will access NCSUITS through the DES website (des.nc.gov), using your current login credentials to sign in to NCSUIT.

Employers and remitters currently registered with the Division of Employment Security’s current remote tax filing system will not need to re-register in NCSUITS. All existing information will convert to the new system. All employers and agents (remitters) currently registered with the current only need to update their existing accounts at this time.

The Employer/Agent ID Number is the same number as the former Employer Account Number or EAN. When you are asked to provide the ID Number, you should enter your 6-or-7-digit number with either three-or-four leading zeros. NCSUITS requires the ID Number to be 10 digits, so the Division of Employment Security opted to add the leading zeros to create that 10-digit number.

If your account number is 8 digits the the last number will be dropped and 3 leading zeros  will be added.

Your new Employer ID won't be sent to you.  Your current Employer ID number will be automatically converted to a 10-digit Employer ID number. The format for this converted agent ID will be your current 6- or 7-digit number with four leading zeroes added to it. Ex.  Current remitter number = 123456 --> new agent ID number = 0000123456.

FAQ

Is it possible to bulk file as a third-party administrator (agent) for clients (employers) that for which you do not have a Power of Attorney?

An agent does not have to be linked to an employer to submit reports or payments on the employer's behalf.

For file uploading, can agents submit a combined file for all clients or is it one file per employer at a time?

It can contain as many reports for as many employers as you like. It just cannot exceed the 25 MB size limit.

Is bulk filing available?

Yes; bulk filing is available in NCSUITS.

Will there be different log-in screens for each employer and agent?

No; agents are not required to be linked to employers for bulk filing and payments.
