Filing TWC in 21st Century Payroll for Adagio

21st Century Payroll for Adagio uses QuickFile to upload your TWC report. You will need to set this up with the Texas Workforce Commission.

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.

You will need to do the following before you can file TWC through 21st Century Payroll for Adagio:

  1. In 21st Century Payroll for Adagio, make sure that TX SUTA is a system-defined (not user-defined) tax. Payroll generates the TWC Quarterly Report from amounts posted to the system-defined factor for TX SUTA.
  2. Set up to use QuickFile on the TWC website.
  3. In Adagio PR, run Payroll/Configure/Taxes and select TX SUTA. Enter your TWC Tax Account Number in the Reporting ID box. This number must be in the TWC Quarterly Report electronic file.
The steps you see below may not coincide exactly with the QuickFile procedures on the TWC site. TWC pages change at times without notice.
