Payroll Tax Returns

A common mistake that many companies make is not filing a $0 return in a state when they no longer have employees in that state. When this happens most states will assume that you still have an employee in their state and will issue you a Notice of taxes due.

This typically can be easily resolved by simply filing a $0 return for the applicable quarters and then sending a Notice of Discontinuance to the applicable state advising them to take your company off their payroll tax roles.
