Product updates

Check can now remit P&I directly to select agencies on a company’s behalf as part of notice resolution. Supported agencies currently include IRS, California EDD, Colorado DLE, Kentucky DOR, Indiana DOR, Denver OPT, and Oregon (SIT, SUI, WBF + Transit Taxes). We plan to expand coverage over time.⁠⁠

This is available now in Sandbox and Live environments. See the Tax and Agency API references for full details.

This is the first of a consistent set of tax, agency, and jurisdiction references we'll use across the API, so you can increasingly group and reconcile tax activity the same way everywhere.

This makes migrations easier: resolve a prior system's tax codes to Check taxes and keep them current as the catalog changes. You can also filter by supported to see which taxes Check calculates.

You can now read Check's tax catalog directly from the API. Two read endpoints surface the taxes and agencies Check works with. Both use a canonical lowercase jurisdiction code (fed, ny, pa) so you can filter by region.

We've created a Balancing Payrolls & Fulfillment Receipts Guide to provide a visual example of how to best surface quarter end tax reconciliation to employers and detail how to configure the backend. The guide walks through actions like subscribing to fulfillment.created webhooks, surfacing balancing fulfillments in a clear employer-facing flow (banner → detail page → receipt PDF), and communicating the timeline before funds move.

We are introducing a limit to how many times the same blocker can be removed from a company filing. Starting July 1st, you will be able to remove a given blocker on a company filing up to 2 times via API or Console. A third attempt to remove that same blocker will be rejected with a too_many_blocker_removal_attempts error.

Removing a blocker signals to Check that the underlying issue has been addressed, clearing the filing to proceed. When the same blocker keeps reappearing, it means the root cause hasn't actually been resolved with the tax agency, so removing it again only lets the filing fail and re-block without explanation for the customer. This new cap stops that unproductive loop and points you and the customer to create a ticket, where support can be provided.

If you reach the limit, please ensure the issue has been resolved directly with the agency, then contact Check support to have the blocker removed.
