YTD Taxable Wages (third wage column) is a calculated value based on the YTD wages for ODJFS purposes. The ODJFS taxable wage base is $9,000 currently and has been since 2020.
Note icon false - If the district is a contributing employer they are charged a fee. If an employee has reached $9,000.00 in wages for the year, the contributing employer no longer has to pay the fee that is associated with ODJFS. Therefore the 0 in the YTD Taxable column would be correct.
- You may also see partial amounts after the 1st quarter when the last part of the $9,000 is being reported. For example, in the first quarter $8,000 was reported. The second quarter would only report $1,000 to total for the year $9,000

3. Verify Weeks are Correct
Tip title What are ODJFS Weeks? - A qualifying week is any week in which an employee has worked at least part of a day.
- For ODJFS purposes, a week is counted if the Saturday ending the week falls within the reporting quarter. Example, April 1st is a Saturday, that week, March 26- April 1, is the first week count in the 2nd Quarter.
- The maximum number of weeks for any quarter is the number of Saturdays contained within it. This maximum may vary for each quarter of the year.
- Generally, the count is 13, however if there are 14 Saturdays in the Quarter, the maximum weeks would be 14. If there are only 12 Saturdays the max would be 12.
