Line 17b is asking for the taxable wages subject to a state's unemployment insurance fund. My applicable state is NY. And the wages subject to the NY unemployment insurance wage base is not $7,000. It's actually $12,00 for 2022 and it will be $12,300 for 2023. Please see NY DOL website: NYS-45 Quarterly Reporting | Department of Labor . Please see also this link from Ernst & Young: New York employers will pay an interest assessment in 2022 for the state's federal UI loans (ey.com). Please let me know if you now agree that line 17b should be $12,000 for NY residents in light of the 2 sources I am including here. Thanks so much for the time you're spending on this.
