| How To Amended Ohio Bwc True Up Report |
Facing the Funny Bone of the Formalities
First things first, you'll need the official Amended True-Up Payroll Report form (BWC-7578). Don't worry, it's not longer than a grocery list for a picky toddler (probably). You can find this little gem on the BWC's website or by whispering sweet nothings to your friendly neighborhood copier.
Important! This ain't Mad Libs. You gotta fill out the entire form, not just the fun bits. And don't forget to explain why you're amending your report. Be honest, but maybe avoid mentioning that dance-off with the office stapler that led to the payroll mishap.
Submission Shenanigans: How to Get Your Amends In
Now, you have a few options to send in your amended report, all with their own level of pizzazz:
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
- Electronically Boogie: Log in to your BWC e-account and upload the form directly. Think of it as filing your taxes with the ease of online shopping (minus the existential dread).
- Fax it Fax it Good: Blast it back in time with a good old-fashioned fax (614-719-5313). Just make sure your fax machine still works and isn't being used as a hipster record player.
- Snail Mail Shuffle: For the truly traditional, you can mail your form to the BWC Mail Processing Center (address on the form, my friend). Just remember, patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to the postal service.
Pro-Tip: Whichever method you choose, don't forget to sign and date the form! Unsigned forms are about as useful as a chocolate teapot to the BWC.
