End of Q3 guidance

Are you ready to close out the third quarter?

As the end of the quarter approaches, we ask that you take some time to review important payroll and tax information in isolved. This ensures the information we have is correct prior to the beginning of quarter-end tax filing.

All Q3 payroll and tax information must be accurate and complete in isolved by Thursday, Sept. 30, 2021 to ensure timely filing. Below are the recommended items to review to help you meet all requirements.

Review tax setup information

It is important you confirm that your company and tax setup is correct in isolved. Review each piece of information shown below by going to Reporting > Client Reports to run each report.

  1. Validate the company information below on the Client Profile Report.
    • Name matches the legal company name registered with tax agencies
    • FEIN matches the legal FEIN that is registered with tax agencies
    • Address matches the legal company address registered with tax agencies
    • Verify that a Tax Filing contact is listed and their contact information (name, email address and phone number) is correct as it should be reflected on tax forms
  1. Validate your company tax information on the Client Profile Report under the section for Authorized Tax Agencies and Taxes.
    • Review the Federal and state tax ID numbers for accuracy
    • Review the state filing frequencies and rates to ensure they are correct

Please remember tax agencies do NOT send any rate or filing frequency notices to Insperity, but they do send this information to you, the employer of record. If you have received these notices or see any discrepancies in your isolved setup, please forward all information to your payroll specialist.

You must have a registered ID number with all appropriate state and federal agencies in order to file. Agencies do not accept “Applied For” ID numbers for filing and payments. Submitting your filings with an “Applied For” ID could cause delay and agency penalties and fees.

  1. Review employee information on the Employee W2 Verification Report.
    • Verify employee names and Social Security numbers for accuracy
