How does my payroll provider work with Middesk?

Middesk works with payroll providers to offer a way to seamlessly register for payroll taxes in new states in a simple, low-cost way that provides peace of mind. 

Typically, the conversation around tax registration needs will begin between a business and payroll provider  if you operate a business and employ one or more employees in their applicable work state(s). Failure to comply with the state’s registration guidelines in a timely manner can result in fines and penalties.

After this conversation, businesses can submit registration orders to Middesk that will be completed by our tax team. Middesk processes and submits registrations to the relevant state agencies, and then retrieves the account information to be provided to the business and their payroll provider. Additionally, if required as part of the registration process, Middesk will set up accounts on agency tax portals, and provide log in credentials to the business. 

Once the registrations and accounts are set up, all information is passed to the business and their payroll provider via your Middesk dashboard. 

From there, it is the responsibility of the business to ensure their taxes and quarterly reports are getting taken care of. Most commonly, this will involve assigning third party authorization to your payroll provider, via the online state portal, so they can file on your behalf.
