Available to Full Service Payroll
Patriot typically collects payroll taxes on the first banking day before the pay date. This means payroll tax liabilities are collected when payroll is run, based on the pay date and the taxes calculated for that payroll. Taxes are collected via ACH (Automated Clearing House) during each payroll run.
For Full Service Payroll customers switching from another provider, Patriot begins collecting and remitting taxes based on the tax takeover date selected during setup. This will include any FUTA or SUTA deposits, and any income tax withholdings for federal, state and local taxes.
If payroll history is entered for a period Patriot is responsible for, any quarterly or annual tax liabilities tied to that payroll history are typically collected during the tax authorization step.
This ensures Patriot has the funds needed to deposit and file taxes for the periods covered under your Full Service Payroll start date. To check collected or scheduled payroll taxes, go to Reports > Tax Reports > Tax Collections.
This report provides a detailed view of past and upcoming tax collections. After approving payroll, you can request to delay the tax collection date by up to 30 days from the original collection date.
