Quarterly tax packages are found within the Toast Payroll system under Reports > Tax Filing. These reports are typically available the third full week of the month following quarter-end. Toast Payroll will only generate tax packages for quarters in which a customer was actively processing payroll within the Toast Payroll system.
Note: Toast Payroll may not be able to complete and/or submit tax filings where the Toast Payroll system reflects missing, erroneous, or incomplete information in a customer's account. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that they have provided Toast Payroll with all requisite tax information in a timely manner. Copies of tax return submissions do not guarantee that a return was submitted to or accepted by an applicable agency.
Registration with the state sets up your tax account, identified by an Employer Identification Number (EIN). This number enables Toast Payroll to file electronically on your behalf. Failure to provide this information risks Toast Payroll's ability to remit/file on your behalf, which may result in financial penalties for your company.
Missouri income tax withholding registration and unemployment tax registration are done on separate websites. Follow both sets of instructions below to get set up with the respective tax agencies. Both account IDs are needed for payroll purposes.
Note: In this state, customers may not receive a state unemployment employer identification number (EIN) until wages are paid. It is the customer's responsibility to not only apply for an EIN whenever applicable, but also to provide this information to Toast Payroll & Team Management. The Toast Payroll system will calculate the unemployment tax liability and Toast Payroll & Team Management will attempt to remit the funds before the EIN is received. Without an EIN however, customers may face potential penalties, fees, fines, and interest from tax authorities. Follow the instructions below to register.
The Employer Identification Number (EIN) identifies a tax account to the state and enables Toast Payroll to file returns electronically on a company's behalf. Failure to provide this information risks Toast Payroll's ability to remit/file on your behalf, which may result in financial penalties for your company.

Updated Missouri unemployment withholding tax rate information should be entered into Toast Payroll by navigating to Settings > Payroll > Tax Accounts.
