Payroll Tax Analyst

Responsibilities: Review legacy payroll tax accounts across state and local jurisdictions, document key account details, and determine the actions needed to bring each record to completion. Coordinate final return activity and submit closure or de-registration requests for outdated tax accounts, following through with agencies until written confirmation is received. Investigate unresolved notices, balances, or audit-related issues tied to tax accounts and elevate complex items that require management review. Research registration obligations for new entities based on employee work and residence locations, then complete required withholding, unemployment, and local tax account setups. Verify that newly issued account numbers, filing schedules, and tax rates are accurately reflected in payroll records and with any external tax filing partners. Update existing tax registrations to correct mismatched account information, resolve agency correspondence, and support amended filings when prior submissions were tied to incorrect accounts. Maintain an audit-ready documentation structure for registration records, rate notices, agency letters, powers of attorney, and other payroll tax support materials. Prepare a clear summary of accounts opened, corrected, and closed, including supporting records and state-specific process notes for future maintenance. Partner regularly with Payroll, Accounting, HR, and IT to confirm entity details, work locations, system setup accuracy, project risks, and outstanding action items.
