Product updates

Partners can now download and preview tax variances for Q4 2025 using the Quarterly Variance Report in Console. This report was previously only available after the close of the quarter, but it will now be available to preview throughout the quarter and will be updated on a weekly basis.

Additionally, partners can also access a breakdown of tax variances for an individual company by employee and tax. This is available in Console by downloading a preview report of the “balancing payroll” for the company in Q4.

For instructions on accessing both of these reports, refer to our updated Balancing help center article.

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
