Submitting TX Workforce Commission Quarterly Report

QuickFile Submission (requires Internet access)

QuickFile provides a procedure that checks your electronic file to make sure that the format is acceptable to the TWC and that data such as sums are correct. If your electronic file passes the validation tests, QuickFile will then guide you through the process of sending the electronic file to the TWC.
As stated on the TWC web site: “QuickFile users should not wait until the last day to submit tax reports, as unforeseen network problems or program errors may delay transmission and result in late report penalties.”
The steps you see in the instructions below may not coincide exactly with the QuickFile procedures on the TWC site. As stated on the TWC site, “TWC pages may change at any time without notice. Entities and individuals linking to the TWC web domains are responsible for continuously verifying links ….”
