Between November and January, Gusto helps your company get ready for tax filing. Go to Taxes & Compliance or your Home page in the left menu to see your open tasks.
We will ask you a short set of questions so we can prepare and file your tax forms for you. These questions may cover:
Payrolls you ran outside of Gusto
Special or one-time payments
Fringe benefits
Other year-end tax details
You can answer everything at once or come back later. Any unfinished items will stay in Taxes & Compliance until you complete them. Answer carefully so your tax forms are correct.
If we see anything missing, we will email you with the next steps. Follow the instructions in that email to update your Gusto account.
At the start of the new year, Gusto uses the information in your account to pay and file your company’s annual taxes.
After filing, Gusto creates W-2s and 1099s for everyone you paid through Gusto last year.
Employees and contractors can download forms in their own Gusto accounts.
Employees download Form W-2
Contractors download Form 1099-NEC
You can also download and share the forms.
Or you can ask Gusto to mail the forms for you.
Go to Taxes & Compliance or your Home page to see links, tasks, and important dates. If you need additioanl support, we can help.
