How to Delay or Adjust Your Tax Collection
This article applies to Full-Service Payroll customers only.
Tax collections after running payroll:
Patriot normally collects payroll taxes one banking day before your pay date.
If you expect insufficient funds in your bank account on that collection date, you can request a delay — but the request must be made no later than one banking day before the scheduled tax collection date.
Important: Delaying tax collection may result in late fees and penalties from federal, state, or local tax agencies.
Tax collections after approving payroll history:
Patriot normally collect payroll taxes the next banking day after approving payroll history.
If Patriot is attempting to collect a payroll tax you have already paid, contact Support before you select your tax takeover date so the collection can be stopped in time. If you have already selected a takeover date, the request must be made immediately — no later than one banking day before the scheduled tax collection date.
How to Request a Delay or Adjust a Scheduled Tax Collection
You must speak or chat with a Support representative before any delay can be arranged. Do not send an email as your first contact — Patriot needs to be aware of the situation before taking action.
When you reach Support, have a specific date ready for when you want taxes collected. Patriot cannot determine that date for you.
To reach Support, call 877-968-7147, press 3, then press 1. Support is available Monday through Friday, 9 am to 7 pm Eastern Time. You can also skip the menu by pressing 31 immediately after calling. Live chat is also available during the same hours.
