View a list of tax forms Gusto files for you (federal and state)

This article is for admins who want to see the federal and state tax forms we file for their company. If you are an employee or contractor, see the Personal forms help article to view and sign your personal tax forms.

We file these forms for you automatically when you run payroll with Gusto. Below, see which forms we file and where to find them.

Before you start

How to view your tax forms

You can see every filing we make in Taxes & compliance, then Tax documents. You cannot download some forms we file electronically, like payment vouchers and coupons. To see those, sign in to your agency’s portal. Find your agency’s website.

Use the sections below to see which forms to download in Gusto and which to view in the agency portal.

To view the tax forms we filed for you:

  1. Sign in to Gusto.

  2. Go to Taxes & compliance.

  3. Select Tax documents.

  4. Use the tabs to find your Federal, State, W-2, and 1099 forms.

    • If we amended a return for you, you'll also see an Amended forms tab.

  5. Next to the form, under Actions, click View (if available) to get more detail.

To see what we paid for you, run the Agency payments report.

Watch this short video to see where to find your tax forms. Your Gusto account may look different from the video.

Missing forms and failed filings

Quarterly forms show up a few weeks after the quarter ends. Find them under Taxes & compliance, then Tax documents. Each form shows its due date and filing status. To see the next filing we have scheduled, view tax payments and filings made by Gusto.

If a filing failed, you'll see a to-do on your Home page and under Needs attention in Tax documents. To get it refiled, fix the tax filing issue, then tell us when it's fixed.

If your tax filings fail three times, you’ll need to file taxes outside of Gusto.

If your old payroll provider filed a form, ask them for a copy.

Federal tax forms we file

We file these federal forms for you. The list may not include forms we file for corrected or amended returns. Learn how to view an amendment we filed.

Employer forms

We provide Forms W-3 and 1096 in your Gusto account, but we do not file them. They are cover sheets for paper filings, and we file Forms W-2 and 1099 electronically. To download them for your records, see Forms W-3 and 1096.

Employee forms

Contractor forms

We file these federal forms for US contractors.

We file Forms 1099 for all contractors, even if they earned less than $600. These forms help them file their tax returns.

State tax forms we file

The state forms we file depend on where your employees work and where you run payroll. Expand your state below to see the forms and taxes we file. The list may not include forms we file for corrected or amended returns. Learn how to view an amendment we filed.

Various local returns: If your state’s list includes Various local returns, we file returns for most local taxes set up in your account. These can be city, county, school district, or transit taxes. A few local taxes are exceptions. To see your local taxes, go to Taxes & compliance, then Tax setup. If you’re not sure we file yours, contact us.

State tax registration: Registering with your state’s tax agencies is a separate step from filing. You can register yourself, or let Gusto help you register. To learn how to register in each state, go to our state tax registration hub page.

You must have your employees physically sign the state and local version of Form W-4. Keep these forms on file for your records. This applies to state income tax and some local taxes.
