(d) An employer who elects to report wages and pay contributions annually shall file, on the request of the commission, reports at other times as necessary to adjudicate a claim or to establish wage credits. (e) With respect to an employer who reports wages and pays contributions annually under this section, any penalty or interest imposed on the employer shall be computed in the same manner as for other types of employment. (f) An election by an employer under this section is not revocable by the employer before the second anniversary of the date of the election. (g) An employer under this section is not an employer for wages paid for a service other than domestic service unless the employer is treated as an employer for that service under another provision of this subtitle.
