TaxSync – Automated Local Tax Solution

The TaxSync API Engine allows the SmartTax application to automate and auto-apply the assignment of an employee’s state and local tax codes based on their work and resident addresses. Address verification features validate and correct employee address data before local tax codes are automatically assigned to the employee in tax data; which is especially useful in those complex locality based tax states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland and Michigan.

For employees that live in one state and work in another, SmartTax W-4 automatically provides employees the correct state and local withholding forms, including reciprocity forms so employees can avoid being taxed twice.

Now Available: WorkSync – Work Location Tax Automation

The WorkSync API Engine allows the automation and assignment of an employee’s work location tax data. With an employee self-service feature for self reporting of work@home location and Tax Location code configuration and maintenance, the WorkSync module allows PeopleSoft customers to fully automate their resident and work location tax setup.

The ROI

It is estimated that the average cost to print a federal, state or local tax form, have the candidate or employee complete it, forward to payroll for validation and data entry into PeopleSoft while also retaining all paper versions for audit purposes can cost in excess of $39 for EACH new state/local form update*. With PS WebSolution SmartTax W-4 SmartForm with TaxSync, the cost is less than $2.00 a year for each candidate/employee, regardless of the number of federal/state/local form changes made. Allow your employees to make unlimited form updates without additional cost.
