Frequently asked questions
Why partner with Avalara to enable payroll tax registrations?
For a payroll company, the primary benefit of the Avalara platform is the ability to provide timely tax services to their clients. Without nonregistered clients creating a bottleneck in their workflow, they can enjoy a competitive edge against other providers and truly market their payroll service as an end-to-end solution.
Meanwhile, for a payroll company’s clients, the essential benefit is a simplified process for securing U.S. Tax IDs, to help avoid fines and other punitive measures for noncompliance.
What types of tax registrations does Avalara support?
Avalara can obtain State Unemployment Insurance Tax IDs and State Income Tax IDs. For many providers, these payroll tax registrations are an urgent problem since their only readily available option is to ask their clients to assume the responsibility of obtaining their own registrations, a task which their clients are often poorly equipped to complete.
Does Avalara offer support for federal, state, and local payroll tax registrations?
Yes. Avalara obtains tax registrations at all levels of government. This is an important consideration given that some states permit local jurisdictions to enact payroll taxes, which in turn require registration with the local authority.
What types of partner programs does Avalara offer for payroll tax registrations?
In the case of tax registration solutions, Avalara offers three possible arrangements for payroll companies: API integration, an Avalara Partner Portal, and a referral link. There are benefits to each one depending on a partner’s use case.
What are the costs associated with these payroll tax registration options?
If they choose to use either an API integration or the Partner Portal, a provider pays a discounted wholesale price. If they opt to use a referral link instead, their client will pay Avalara’s purchase price.
How long does it take to let Avalara begin registration for a client?
Once a client begins answering questions, the average time for completion is 15–25 minutes. If a client needs to register in more than one state, the single set of questions is still the only one needed for Avalara to prepare the forms, make payments directly to authorities, and follow up with jurisdictions to ensure everything is processed by them in a timely manner.
How long does it take Avalara to complete a registration on a client’s behalf?
Once Avalara gets the necessary information, the registration process with the authorities typically takes 1–2 business days (while processing and approval times may vary by state).
