INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE TEXAS EMPLOYER NEW HIRE REPORTING FORM
The purpose of the Texas New Hire Reporting Form is to allow employers to fulfill new hire reporting requirements. You may enter your
employer information and photocopy a supply and then enter employee information on the copies.
REPORTING OF NEW HIRES IS REQUIRED:
All required items (numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22) on this form must be completed.
Box 1: Federal Employer ID Number (FEIN). Provide the 9-digit employer identification number that the federal government assigns to the
employer. This is the same number used for federal tax reporting. Please use the same FEIN that appears on quarterly wage reports.
Box 2: State Employer ID Number (Optional). Identification number assigned to the employer by the Texas Workforce Commission.
Box 3: Employer Name. The employer name as listed on the employee’s W4 form. Please do not provide more than one employer name
(for example, “ABC, Inc DBA. John Doe Paint and Body Shop” is not correct).
Box 4: Employer Address. Please indicate the address where the Income Withholding Orders should be sent. Do not provide more
than one address (for example, P.O. Box 123, 1313 Mockingbird Lane is not correct).
