Product updates

We’ve added a new delivery option, print_mail_to_employer, which allows all printed W-2s and 1099s to be mailed directly to the employer’s address rather than to each worker individually. This provides greater flexibility for employers who prefer to distribute tax forms themselves.

This setting is managed through the employee_w2_delivery_method and contractor_1099_delivery_method fields in the Company endpoint and can now also be viewed and updated directly in Console, making it easier to review or adjust a company’s tax form delivery preferences.

Today, we released new functionality in Console to make it easier to see bank account details. You can now view the routing number for both company and employee bank accounts directly in Console.

You can now set a custom reply-to email address for  Check communications.

Previously, emails were sent from a no-reply address. Emails will still be sent from no-reply@checkhq.com, but with this update, you can now configure a reply-to email per notification type in Console. This allows your team to directly receive and respond to replies from your customers.

How to use it

• Go to Console → Notifications
• Add a Reply-To Email for the desired notification type(s). You can reuse the same address across multiple type.
• When Check sends emails for the notification type, we will set the provided address as the reply-to email.

If no reply-to email is set, messages will continue to use the default no-reply address.

The reply_to field is now available in the email object returned by the Communications API. The no_reply field logic has also been updated to reflect this new behavior.Demo

Watch a quick demo on Loom. For more details, see our Communications guide.

Today, we’re thrilled to release the Employee Tax Statements and Tax Packages APIs.

Employee Tax Statements provide visibility into individual employee W-2s and W-2Cs that are expected or already submitted. The Employee Tax Statements API shows partners when Check filed these documents, whether they were amended, and their relationship to company filings.

The Tax Packages API enables partners to request individual employee tax statements for download, as well as request multiple filings and tax statements to be downloaded in a zip file in one request, regardless of employer size.

As a reminder, this is meant to replace the W-2 Preview report which will work through the end of 2025. We recommend migrating to these new endpoints by end of year. You can read about how to use both here.
