Frequently asked questions

Will Wave still file for me if I don't run payroll?

If you are enrolled in payroll tax service and your payroll tax service has started, Wave will file the applicable forms listed above, even if you don’t approve any payrolls. You can check the start date of your payroll tax service in Payroll > Taxes.

If you don’t approve any payrolls with a pay day that falls within a reporting period, Wave reports $0 on the filings for that period.

You still need to electronically sign federal filings before Wave can file them on your behalf. Once your forms are ready to sign, Wave will send you an email. Click the link and follow the prompts to complete the electronic signature process.

How can I check if my filings are complete?

Wave posts quarterly bundles in Payroll > Tax Forms during the final week of the month when quarterly filings are due (January, April, July, October). These bundles include a copy of state filings that Wave has produced on your behalf. You must then follow the prompts in your Wave account to electronically sign federal forms.

If your return says Applied For, Wave has not submitted any filings or payments, and has marked the tax as paid by you. If you see There's a problem with Wave's access to the following account when you run payroll, Wave has not submitted a payment and has marked the tax as paid by you. Wave may have also been unable to file the tax. In this case, confirm the status of your state filing(s) directly with the state agency.

Why did I receive an email from Tax1099?

Wave partners with Tax1099 to file your taxes. This means you may occasionally receive an email about your tax filing addressed from them, rather than Wave.

I’m on Wave’s tax service and received a tax notice. What should I do?

If you receive a payroll tax notice from the IRS or the state, Wave’s payroll specialists can help. If there is a financial penalty, pay the penalty and any interest accrued immediately. Then, open Mave, Wave’s automated chatbot, and type human support payroll penalty notice. You will need to provide screenshots of all pages of the notice.
