MasterTax provides payroll tax filing software that simplifies and automates complex compliance processes.
Import your payroll data from any platform
With the MasterTax cloud-based software, you can easily import your payroll data and generate an auditable process report alerting you of any issues and keeping items in queue until you’re ready to resolve them. The system also recognizes any adjustments and will automatically update tax liabilities so you don't have to log into multiple agency sites.
Check for liabilities due and handle payment scheduling
Rid your organization of manual tasks for good. MasterTax software schedules payroll tax payments for you, keeping up with variances as well as instructions for e-filing, EFTPS and EFT so you can manage payroll tax all in one place. Payment process reports provide an internal audit trail. Interim and quarter-end workflow options allow you to balance as you go. Your dashboard calendar updates automatically so you can see what’s due and when.
Automatically create required vouchers for filing
Produce agency-approved original and amended returns, in paper, e-file and removable media formats. Automatically create payment coupons and vouchers based on individual agency requirements. We’ll even let you know which agencies require zero coupons. MasterTax software also conveniently obtains electronic signatures and generates mailing labels.
Get automated reminders and guidance
Keeping up with filing and payment dates can be time-consuming. With our Agency Notice Manager, you can upload a copy of the notice or enter key details. A unique notice ID allows you to track a notice from start to finish plus maintain in-depth data like EFT instructions from individual agencies so you never have to scramble for details.
Leverage robust reporting capabilities
As the MasterTax payroll tax software creates payment detail, you can track general ledger data. Get a chart of accounts at detailed summary levels with our robust reporting options. Our client-branded recap package includes reconciliation recap, deposit recap, list of agency returns and addresses, employer copies of every return filed, and a company tax profile of what the client looked like at quarter-end and year-to-date.
