Wyoming payroll tax and registration guide

  • Updated

Why is this important?

The following information requests and registration instructions must be completed before you can use OnPay to run payroll. To maintain compliance with state payroll tax regulations, you will need to provide: 

  • Your state Employer Identification Number and state tax IDs - You must be registered with all state and local agencies listed in this article
  • Tax rates - State and local tax offices determine these rates based on the type, age, and size of your business
  • TPA and power of attorney - Most tax offices require this before we can submit quarterly wage reports and deposits on your behalf

This information must be provided and maintained by you in order for OnPay to accurately file and deposit tax payments for your company. OnPay is not responsible for any penalties or interest that incur due to missing or incorrect company tax information.

Note: Each state has its own requirements, so if you pay employees in more than one state, you’ll find separate tax guides for each state
