Embedded Payroll & Company Tax Requirements<\/span><\/h2>\n

Depending on where a company\u2019s employees work and live, businesses are subject to a wide variety of taxes – those levied by the federal government and state governments and in many states taxes levied by local municipalities. Some taxes may have company specific rates that must be reported by a company representative in order for Gusto to calculate payroll correctly. Every tax must be reported and paid to specific tax agencies – these tax agencies may require businesses to register and receive an account number specific to the agency. Some agencies may require different businesses to make payments at different frequencies (a.k.a. \u201cdeposit schedule\u201d). So, in order to calculate, pay, and file a business\u2019 payroll taxes correctly, a very dynamic set of account numbers, deposit schedules, registration details, and other answers must be collected from a business representative.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are More Than 10,000 Possible Tax Questions<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are more than 10,000 possible questions that could be asked of a company, but only a small percentage of them are relevant for a given customer. The Gusto Embedded Payroll Company Tax Requirements API is designed to tell you the exact requirements for each company\u2019s unique situation. After adding <\/span>company work locations<\/span><\/a>, adding employee\u2019s home addresses, and assigning employees to those work locations, the Tax Requirements API will return the exact requirements needed to calculate, pay, and file the business\u2019 payroll taxes. Each requirement includes a customer facing label and description to describe the requirement as well as metadata that can be used to programmatically collect the right type of data.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gusto stays abreast of tax changes nationwide and ensures that tax requirements are always up-to-date for all of your customers. Given the structure of the API, once implemented, your application will be able to collect present and future requirements without needing to build new application logic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Walk Through an Example<\/span><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s walk through an example for a hypothetical business in Ohio. The business has 3 work locations in the state, located in the cities of Columbus, Blue Ash, and Cleveland. What information must be collected? We\u2019ll use screenshots from our embeddable flows UI to demonstrate the requirements and how they change as more locations are added.<\/span><\/p>\n
