Alabama TPP, TPA + POA

Why is this important?

OnPay works with government entities on your behalf, reporting new hires to state labor departments, calculating tax rates, paying taxes and insurance contributions, and filing financial reports. To do this effectively, you will need to grant us Power of Attorney for each state where your company has a tax obligation. For example, if you operate in both Alabama and Georgia, you must complete and return a power of attorney for both states.

We've got you covered. All you have to do is fill out your information, sign the form, and return it to us. We'll take it from there!

Each tax office has its own authorization process, and may require different actions for you to take. We've detailed every step for each office below. We may need you to provide your tax registration information, or return a completed power of attorney (POA) form. In these cases, you'll see a button to "Submit a request". This request form is used to securely transmit your business information.
