We highly recommend visiting this page at least once a quarter so you can complete outstanding tasks and help enable a successful quarterly tax filing. 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. Visit Toast Payroll: Manage Payroll Taxes to learn all about the Tax Center.

To find copies of tax filings processed in Toast Payroll, the quarterly tax packages are found within the Toast Payroll system under Reports > Tax Filing. When you select Reports in Toast Payroll, you should see a URL that begins with payroll.toasttab.com. Visit Navigate Toast Payroll Within Toast Web to learn how the new Toast Payroll navigation works.
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.
