State Tax Notices: What They Mean and How We Handle Them

💡 Tax notices from state agencies are a normal part of running payroll across multiple states. Warp's tax operations team handles these notices for you to ensure your business stays compliant.

When running payroll in multiple states, employers may receive notices from state tax agencies about outstanding reports or tax liabilities. These notices are official communications that require attention, but they're often temporary situations that Warp actively resolves.

Common Reasons for Tax Notices

Pending State Tax ID Assignment

  • When you begin employing in a new state, there's typically a processing period while the state assigns your tax IDs

  • During this waiting period, Warp may be unable to remit certain tax payments or file returns

  • This is especially common if you started running payroll near the end of a tax quarter

  • Once IDs are assigned, Warp will process any pending payments and resolve related notices

Missing Information or Pending Employer Action

  • Some state filings require specific business information that must come from you

  • Warp will notify you if we need additional details to complete state filings

  • Notices may arrive while this information is being collected

Informational or reminder notices

  • States often send reminder notices about upcoming withholding or unemployment tax returns

  • These notices are typically informational and require no action from you

  • Warp automatically handles these quarterly filings as long as your tax information is complete in our system

  • You can safely disregard these reminders

What to Do When You Receive a Notice

  • Forward all tax notices (except standard reminders) to [email protected]

  • Include a clear photo or scan of all pages

  • Keep the original notice for your records

  • Don't respond to the notice directly - let our tax operations team handle it

  1. Confirm receipt of your notice

  2. Review the specific issue

  3. Take necessary actions to resolve it
