View and download tax filings

When you process payroll through 7shifts Payroll, copies of all federal and state tax submissions are automatically stored in your account. You can use the Tax Forms page to confirm submissions, access past filings for audits, or download copies for your records.

View and download tax filings


You can access and download your federal and state tax filings directly from the 7shifts web app.

  1. Log in to the web app as an Admin.
  2. Navigate to Payroll › Taxes › Tax Forms.
  3. Review the Jurisdiction, Period, and Uploaded On columns to identify the correct filing.
  4. Select the Download Icon (arrow icon) to download a PDF copy of the filing.

Each filing displays key details to help you identify the correct record:

Column Description
Jurisdiction Shows whether the filing is Federal or State.
Period The quarter or year covered by the filing.
Uploaded On The date the filing was uploaded.
Download Icon Click the arrow icon to download a PDF copy.

Understand the Employer Copy label on tax forms


The PDF you download from the Tax Forms page in 7shifts Payroll is your Employer Copy, so the “Employer Copy - Do Not File” label is expected. 7shifts can’t provide a version without it.

7shifts Payroll e-files every return, so the official filing is the electronic data sent directly to the tax agency, not a paper form. Your Employer Copy is a valid record of what was filed. You don’t need to file it again or send it anywhere.

A tax form without the Employer Copy label, such as the Federal Quarterly Tax Return (Form 941), is not a more official version.

Troubleshoot missing tax filings


Tax filings only appear after specific conditions are met. If a filing is missing from the Tax Forms page, verify the following requirements.

  • Confirm that 7shifts Payroll processed and paid the payroll for that specific period.
  • Verify that your Tax ID and Third-Party Administrator (TPA) access are active in all relevant agency portals.
  • Contact 7shifts Support if you suspect a tax filing has failed or was not submitted.

Note: To learn more about resolving specific submission errors, refer to How to resolve a failed tax payment or filing.
