How to Complete Form 8655 for Hassle-Free Payroll Tax Filing

Are you tired of the headaches that come with processing payroll tax forms? If so, delegating the complicated task to your payroll provider can take that burden off your shoulders. However, before doing so, it's essential to complete Form 8655. This form allows a reporting agency to handle returns on your organization's behalf, including signing and filing certain returns, making deposits and payments, and receiving duplicate copies of tax information.  

In this blog, you will learn more about Form 8655 and how Greenshades can help you complete and tackle payroll tax filings.

What is Form 8655?

Form 8655 allows a reporting agency to handle returns on your organization’s behalf. After submitting the form, the designated agency will have the ability to

• Sign and file certain returns;
• Make deposits and payments for certain returns;
• Receive duplicate copies of tax information, notices, and other written and/or electronic communication regarding any authority granted; and
• Provide IRS with information to aid in penalty relief determinations related to the authority granted on Form 8655.

This form is critical when submitting tax filings through your payroll software provider. Delegating payroll tax filing to a provider reduces the burden on your organization and reduces the risk of errors and missed deadlines.
