Managed Payroll Tax

Payroll tax, handled. Every agency, every deadline.

Murphy Collective's practitioners run your payroll tax accounts across federal, state and local agencies: registrations, deposits, filings, notices and amendments. You see exactly where everything stands.

We take on a limited number of new clients each quarter.

What we handle

Every payroll tax account, run by people who know the agencies.

Agency registrations and closures

New state and local accounts opened in the right order, and accounts you no longer need closed properly.

Deposit and filing calendars

Every deposit and return on one calendar, tracked agency by agency so nothing is late.

Notices and responses

Agency letters read, answered and resolved by a practitioner, with the outcome recorded.

Amendments and corrections

Prior-period errors corrected with amended returns and the reconciliations behind them.

Power of attorney and agency access

The authorizations and agency access we need to act for you, set up and kept current.

Multi-state and local taxes

State and local payroll taxes, including PA Act 32, Ohio municipal and Oregon transit.

How it works

Three steps to payroll tax you don't have to think about.

  1. 01

    A short intake call

    We learn where you have employees and how payroll runs today.

  2. 02

    We gather and verify

    We gather your accounts and logins securely and verify every agency.

  3. 03

    Ongoing management

    We manage it from there, with a single point of contact.

Who it's for

Employers with 10 to 1,000 employees.

Especially employers in these situations:

  • Multi-state employers
  • Employers leaving a payroll provider or PEO
  • Employers with a backlog of agency notices

Related situations: PEO Transition and Notice Triage.

Your information

Handled with care, from first call to every filing.

  • Encrypted in transit and at rest, and seen only by the practitioner on your matter. Notices are never attached to or quoted in email.
  • Logins you share with us are stored encrypted and are never sent by email.
Weeks in a queue vs. same day

Stuck in your payroll provider's queue for weeks?

Your notice has a deadline. Your provider's support queue doesn't care. While you wait, penalties and interest keep adding up. Send it to us and a senior practitioner looks at it today.

Waiting on your payroll provider

  • Your notice sits in a ticket queue, often for weeks
  • Penalties and interest keep growing while you wait
  • You explain the problem again to each new rep

Murphy Collective Notice Triage

  • A senior practitioner reads your notice the same business day
  • You get the deadline, the risk and the next step in writing
  • One person owns your notice from start to finish
