Tennessee's Modernized Unemployment Tax System
Tennessee has fully modernized its Unemployment System with the implementation of Unemployment Tax functionality on jobs4TN.gov.
If you previously filed Premium and Wage Reports or Payments through the TNPAWS or Third Party Upload Systems (TPU), you can now perform those functions through the new Employer e-Services portal on jobs4TN.gov.
If you already have a state unemployment account number with Tennessee, you can sign up now for an eServices logon to gain access to the new system.
NOTE: If you already have a webservices logon, you will be granted full access to your account and do not need to update anything. If you have not registered your business with Tennessee, please select "Register My Business."
