StateFiling
One of the important components in tax filing is filing the Forms directly with the State. Most of the states require W-2 to be filed with them directly.
The filing requirements will vary for each state and there is a Reconciliation form filing requirement for most of the states.
Key Points
- TaxBandits supports direct state filing for all the states that require state filing.
- Some of the states just require Form W-2 filing and no Recon form needs to be filed.
- Some of the states require Recon form filing along with the Form W-2s.
- TaxBandits files Recon form on the Employer’s behalf if the state accepts e-filing of Recon Form.
- If the state supports only paper filing of Recon Form, then TaxBandits will not file the Recon Form. It is the Employer’s responsibility to paper file the Form. TaxBandits will provide information on the recon form that needs to be filed in the response.
- Some of the states require State specific additional information of the Employee. Those fields are available under the EmployeeStateSpecificData object for specific states.
- Only one recon form is required to be filed with the state for the Tax Year and Employer. Make sure you provide the recon information for the state in the first Create request. Once the recon is received for the Tax Year and Employer, our system will not check for mandatory requirements of the recon form in future submissions.
- The state filing requirement is separate from Federal filing. You will be notified with a separate webhook response when a state accepts or rejects a W-2 return.
