  • payroll-tax-filing-and-funding-across-jurisdicti-4016e300

    Payments

    Simplify tax payments

    Manage tax liabilities and payment requirements alongside your filing work. Keep payment information connected to the broader compliance process and reduce the need to track obligations across disconnected systems.

Two ways to run it

You decide how much your team owns

Both options use the same filing engine for federal, state, and local returns, with payroll data flowing in automatically. The difference is whether your team files on its own or works with a dedicated Greenshades tax expert.

Tax Filing Center

Your team files, with the work pre-built

Data flows in from your payroll systems of choice, compliance checks catch problems before you submit, and a guided workflow walks each return to e-file.

Get started
  • 941s, W-2s, SUTA/SUI, 1042-S, and local returns — including PA Act 32
  • New hire reporting to all 50 states
  • Deadline alerts by jurisdiction, plus every historical return in one place
  • Quickly build and e-file federal returns on your timeline.

Fits if you have payroll tax knowledge in-house and want to DIY.

Year-End Forms

W-2s and 1099s out the door without the fire drill

Learn more

One portal for W-2s, every type of 1099, 1095-Cs, and more. Pull the data from Greenshades payroll, another system, or a spreadsheet, and let the automated review catch what would have come back rejected before you file.

Built to fit in

Tax compliance and filing that fits your stack

Our integrations cover the major ERPs, ATS, time & attendance tools, and more. If your setup is more particular, our open API lets your team connect anything else. Adding Greenshades never means replacing the systems you depend on.

Where errors come from

Bad filings start months before you file

Wrong work locations, stale addresses, misclassified workers. Disconnected from payroll and HR, you find the problem when the return won't reconcile. Greenshades reads from the same records those teams work in, so errors surface while they're cheap to fix.

Payroll

Tax filings start with payroll data already in the system, so returns reflect actual wages, withholdings, and payments.

  • Blended overtime and shift differentials
  • Garnishments managed right in the pay run

Good to know

Questions we get about tax

Greenshades supports payroll tax and ACA compliance, including federal, state, and local tax return generation, liability and deadline tracking, SSN and TIN verification, ACA tracking, and year-end forms such as W-2s, 1099s, and 1095-Cs.

GOTFC is the tax filing software foundation. Your team uses it to track liabilities and deadlines, generate returns, submit federal filings and payments, and manage state filing requirements.

Payroll Tax Service adds a dedicated tax expert, state filing and payment execution, compliance calendar management, rejection follow-up, and additional hands-on support. Your team still reviews and approves submissions before Greenshades files them.

Not all of them. For most county, city, and municipal taxes, Greenshades can prepare the form and provide filing instructions, but the customer submits directly through the jurisdiction's website. A small number of localities may not support electronic filing at all.

Yes. Tax & Compliance is designed for organizations managing filings across multiple states and jurisdictions, where filing formats, payment requirements, and deadlines can vary significantly.

No. GOTFC can be used independently by some customers, and Year-End Forms is available as a standalone product. Greenshades Payroll customers get the added benefit of payroll data flowing directly into downstream tax and year-end processes.
