Yes, there is a due date for the DE9C form. The DE9C (also known as the Quarterly Contribution Return and Report of Wages) is required to be filed by California employers on a quarterly basis. The due date for the DE9C is generally on the last day of the month following the end of the quarter.
Here are the due dates for each quarter:
1. Quarter 1 (January - March): Due on April 30th.
2. Quarter 2 (April - June): Due on July 31st.
3. Quarter 3 (July - September): Due on October 31st.
4. Quarter 4 (October - December): Due on January 31st of the following year.
It is important for employers to submit their DE9C forms by the specified due dates. Failure to file or late filing may result in penalties or fines imposed by the California Employment Development Department (EDD).
To ensure timely and accurate filing, employers should maintain organized payroll and wage records throughout the year, which will facilitate the process of completing the DE9C form and meeting the filing deadlines. Additionally, utilizing payroll software or seeking professional assistance can help streamline the reporting process and avoid any potential errors or delays.
