File to the IRS and the states, straight from payroll
941, 940, W-2, 1099-NEC, and state returns
Payrollix builds your federal and state returns from the payroll you already ran and transmits them electronically — no paper forms, no re-keying, no third-party filing service. Track every one to accepted.
Every return, filed from one place
Generated from your payroll data, transmitted electronically, and tracked to acceptance.

Portal Filing — 21 States
Payrollix submits these on the client's behalf through the state portal, using the POA on file. Still hands-off for you.
These states don't offer a bulk-filer API yet, so we handle the portal submission ourselves for each return. Coverage moves from this tier to Automated as we build direct integrations — see /state-coverage for the current split.
No State Income Tax — 9 States
No state withholding filings required — SUI/SUTA handled separately
These states have no state income tax. Payrollix still handles federal filings and state unemployment (SUI/SUTA) for employees in these states.
