Automated payroll tax rate & withholding change email notifications for compliance and payroll teams
The Tax Notification Service (TNS) keeps you up to date with past, current, and future payroll withholding tax rate changes while also connecting you directly to the supporting documentation.
Symmetry sends an email every time a tax or rate change is added to our tax research database. The email also links to a complete online list of payroll tax changes for the year.
Once logged in, all tax changes for the current year are presented in alphabetical order by state. You can look for specific tax changes over time by selecting any of the tax categories, or by clicking the name of the state you are researching. You can also view tax changes by year or by Symmetry Tax Engine® release number.
Documentation from the state regarding each change is included when available.
Our full-time staff of Tax Research Analysts are constantly monitoring and researching to determine and implement the most recent withholding rate and regulation changes. That means no more endless time spent going through pages of rates on federal and state websites.
