Reporting Methods
The required information can be reported:
online via the New York New Hire Online Reporting Center at www.nynewhire.com/#/login ; or
by fax at 518-320-1080; or
by mail to: NYS Dept. of Taxation AND Finance New Hire Notification PO Box 15119 Albany NY 12212-5119
Employers can choose to send:
a completed and legible copy of the employee’s Form IT-2104 (or IT-2104-E ), or
a completed and legible copy of the employee’s federal Form W-4, Employee’s Withholding Certificate, (or equivalent form as developed by the employer). If this option is used employers must also submit a completed Form IT-2104 or Form IT-2104-E, whichever is applicable, for each employee because it contains the required information regarding employee dependent health insurance benefits and the hire date.
Electronic filers: See Form NYS-209 , Instructions for Electronic Media Reporting of Employees Hired or Rehired , to obtain updated specifications or contacting Employer Outreach at 518-320-1079.
Since employees complete the withholding allowance form, employers must review the form to ensure the information is complete and legible. Employers must complete the form with their required information, including the employer’s name, address, EIN, whether dependent health insurance benefits are available to the employee and if so, the date the employee qualifies for the benefits, and the hire date.
