Filing quarterly taxes is a time-consuming process, but most businesses are required to stick to a strict schedule. Michigan-based companies likely need to complete a MI UIA-1028 form, the Quarterly Tax Report. The form is used to report figures related to taxes and generated income. You will need to supply information regarding:
- Gross wages
- Excess wages
- Taxable wages
- Taxes due
- The number of employees who worked or received pay during the three-month period
If your business is a two-person operation, Michigan Form 1028 is easy. If your small business is expanding or has more than a handful of employees, it will be a long and information-heavy process. You need a data-based solution that more easily stores and allows you to access all information relating to your generated funds and employees.
That type of information is already available through payroll, but few products combine data management with standard payroll processes. It is exactly what Advanced Micro Solutions provides. Our modular, full-accounting suite of tools, including our payroll add-on, is built on offering powerful, versatile, and affordable platform software.
How Do You Find the Best Payroll Software?
MI UIA-1028 requires broader information about your fiscal quarter:
- How much gross funds were generated
- How much you owe in taxes
- How many employees you have
But as a replacement form for MI UIA-1020 and 1017, the newer form also expands on that information, requiring data for each employee:
- Work status
- SSN
- Full name
- Gross wages paid
By combining your payroll software with a tax filing product, you can easily generate, store, and access the required information. AMS Payroll’s back-end data hosting feature allows its users to enter essential employee information before.
- Step 1: Using it to track wages
- Step 2: Printing checks
- Step 3: Filing/reporting quarterly and end-of-year taxes
On Jan. 1, 2026, Michigan’s minimum hourly wage rose from $12.48 per hour to $13.73 per hour. The minimum wage is included as part of the formula that is used when calculating an individual’s high quarter earnings for unemployment.
