Check Payroll Services

As your reporting agent, Dripos’ compliance partner, Check, handles the filing and payment of many state and local tax forms on your business’s behalf. Some filings are submitted electronically without a physical form—in those cases, Check will provide either a tax liability report or a payment coupon, depending on what’s required.

Below is a list of the federal and state tax forms that are generally supported by Check.

Employer Responsbilities

​
Company Tax Information

Employers are responsible for ensuring all company tax information is submitted to Dripos prior to the end of each fiscal quarter.

Failure to do so may result in delayed quarterly tax filings, which may include interest and fees that will be the responsiblity of the employer to pay.

To ensure that your tax information is properly submitted, please refer to the EOY Tax Checklist on your payroll homepage.

Review all company tax information and fill out incomplete fields.

Failed Filings

Failing to properly provide Dripos and Check with company tax information and TPA access (if applicable) before the end of the fiscal quarter may result in a failed tax filing.

Starting after the close of Q2 2025, Dripos will be passing on the cost of re-filing failed taxes to the customer. This fee is $150 per failed filing.

Failed tax filings may be the result of:

  • Incorrect or missing tax account information: The company failed to provide valid state/local tax IDs (e.g. missing EIN, SIT ID, SUI ID); Tax accounts were never registered in certain jurisdictions.

  • Incorrect tax election setup: The company selected the wrong tax options or made incorrect PFML, SUI, or local tax elections.

  • No TPA access granted: Our payroll provider, Check, may not have been granted proper filing authorization

⚠️ Consequences of a Failed Tax Filing

  • Penalties and Interest: Tax authorities may issue late filing penalties, failure-to-pay fines, and interest on unpaid taxes.

  • Delinquent Tax Notices: The company may receive warning or collection notices from federal, state, or local tax agencies. Repeated failures can lead to escalated enforcement actions.

  • Loss of Good Standing: The business could fall out of compliance and lose its “Good Standing” status with a state, impacting licenses or contracts.

  • Delayed or Missed Tax Payments: Failure to file may also delay the remittance of withheld taxes (e.g., income tax, unemployment tax), creating a liability balance.

  • Difficulty Filing Future Returns: Missed filings can complicate future filings—especially when backfiling is required or the provider doesn’t support it.

  • Potential Legal Action: In extreme cases, the government may pursue legal action or issue liens against the business for unpaid liabilities.
