We have been able to use ADP SmartCompliance as a center focus for numerous functions for our company. It has been great to have one company that can handle a multitude of capabilities from our Payroll taxes, garnishments, pay cards, final pays, and pay method transactions. It definitely has saved time and helped us be proactive instead of reactive as a company.

We use ADP SmartCompliance to manage our withholding and sui taxes. It helps us manage the tax process efficiently and meet tax deadlines. The managed exceptions are very helpful in identifying issues that need to be corrected. Many good reports look at the data from many different views. ADP Smart Compliance has made the quarter end and year end much less time-consuming.

We use SmartComplinace to stay on top of all ever changing tax accounts from all the states. Between 5 different companies, the data is easy to find, sort and resolve. I love uploading agency notices and get a feedback from the customer service to quickly troubleshoot any issues. Reporting is also extremely streamlined. SOD are easily accessible and you dont need to search through all paper copy to find needed state data.

I have used ADP for 20+ years. We use ADP SmartCompliance to manage our state tax notices. Its a great place to organize and see the status of my notices. I can quickly upload a tax notice to the portal and get updates on the status of the notice. I can also view the status of amendments and look up invoices.

Currently I use SmartCompliance to update our SUI rates to ensure ADP is in line with the notices we receive from tax authorities. I am able to set up new tax authorities when needed and maintain our tax profiles, but one of my favorite features is being able to pull down any of our tax records if I am notifed of an issue of what wa reported or confirm a fiing has occured. Not only does SmartCompliance provide different reporting capabilities, you have the ability to access invoices and check on funding, load agency notices for research, but we also use it for Garnishments. As SmartCompliance has evolved, I've noticed that I use it so much more for tax research and balancing. It has really become a regular tool for me.

Tax resolution and filing. We use it to file all of our taxes, but also to resolve tax issues from federal, state, and local jurisdictions. The ability to load agency notices directly to their website is a useful tool. We use the ADP tax locator to research what local and state taxes apply to an employee. ADP SmartCompliance is a great return on investment because they assist with filing taxes, along with their registration services for setting up new tax jurisdictions for us where we have not filed before.

ADP Smart Compliance processes our tax liabilities, wage garnishments, and provides a portal for employees to store their W2s and pay stubs. By outsourcing these items, we have reduced compliance issues and solved platform issues for federal reporting. Our previous provider had not updated its platform, so there were many problems transferring data. ADP is a leader in these areas and they stay ahead of new regulations that help drive organizational guidelines.

We currently use ADP SmartCompliance for payments, garnishments and taxes. I currently specifically use taxes. There is definitely more accuracy, control, and organization using ADP SmartCompliance. We have great representatives for all of the services, which we find so helpful when we are trying to contact someone for help on open issues.

Armstrong Group of Companies includes several different companies. We have Utilities, Telecommunications, Telephone, Properties, Security Services, Restaurants, HVAC/Plumbing, Manufacturing. ADP SmartCompliance is utilized by Payroll only for tax compliance, agency notices, jurisdiction set up and maintenance, quarter reconciliation, annual reconciliation, invoicing and funding and W2s. ADP is constantly striving to advance their technology and welcomes customer feedback in that effort. I rely on them heavily to help us stay up to date and in compliance with the ever-changing laws and policies.

We use ADP SmartCompliance for tax filing services. Once our small university started adding employees in other states, the multi-state filing requirements were more than one payroll employee could handle. ADP SmartCompliance takes care of monthly, quarterly, and annual payroll reporting and filing as well as the processing and delivery of our W2 forms to all employees.
