How to update state tax deposit frequency in 7shifts Payroll?
Question
How do I update the state tax deposit frequency for my business in 7shifts Payroll?
Answer
If you receive an official notice from a state tax agency (such as the North Carolina Department of Revenue) indicating a change in your deposit frequency, you can update this information directly in your 7shifts account business settings. This ensures your tax filings and payments remain compliant with state requirements.
Note: The ability to update this directly in your account depends on your state. If you do not see the option to change your frequency, please reach out to 7shifts Support with a copy of your state notice so we can assist in ensuring it is updated for you.
What To Do
Important: Employers are responsible for reviewing state tax notices and ensuring deposit frequencies are updated in their account or via 7shifts Support. Always match the setting exactly to the effective date indicated on your state notice.
- Log in to the 7shifts web app as an Admin.
- In the left navigation bar, select Payroll.
- Select the Business Settings tab.
- Under the Taxes setup section, click on Update Tax setup.
- Locate the relevant state. If available, click Edit or + Input additional value to enter the new frequency. (Note: If you only see "Tax Rate" and no frequency option, please contact Support for assistance).
- Adjust the Tax Deposit frequency to match your state notice and click Save.
Tip: State agencies typically review and update deposit frequencies annually. A best practice is to check your state tax portals at the beginning of each calendar year for new rate or frequency notices.
