Will Patriot File My Company’s Taxes and W-2s This Year?
Full Service Payroll Customers
If you’re a Full Service Payroll customer and have completed your tax filing setup, Patriot handles your company’s taxes—including federal, state, and, if applicable, local taxes. We’ll also file W-2s with the SSA and submit year-end W-2 reconciliation filings to any states that require them.
- If you’ve completed your tax filing setup, Patriot will have started collecting payroll taxes with each payroll you run. If your setup isn’t complete, you’ll see reminders when you log in, on the payroll overview page, and on step 2 of running payroll.
You can find filing confirmation numbers by navigating to Reports > Payroll Tax Reports > Tax Filings.
Basic Payroll Customers
If you’re a Basic Payroll customer, you can request Patriot to file your W-2s for you. Otherwise, you’ll need to file your W-2s (and any other year-end tax forms) yourself. For more information, check out the help article Basic Payroll: Filing Your W-3.

Important Notes
Electronic W-2s: If you want to post W-2s to employee portals, read Posting Electronic W-2s in Patriot’s Employee Portal for instructions.
W-2 Mailing: Patriot does NOT mail W-2s to your employees. You’ll need to generate W-2s yourself by going to Reports > Payroll Tax Reports > W-2 Forms.
For step-by-step guidance, see the help article How to Download and Print W-2 Forms.
