PAY: Tax Filing Interface Defaults
Overview
The Tax Filing Interface was originally created to allow the exporting of tax information related to payroll batches to third party tax filing companies in order to perform all of the necessary tax filing for a company. This program is also used to submit a file after each check batch that contains all tax jurisdiction information for the check date range indicated and it will also be used to transmit their quarterly employee balance information.
Select the Check Voucher Indicator check box in order to include the direct deposit details with the check record. Once selected, and if you are using your Tax Filing Company’s check print services, the export file will include the direct deposit information set up for the employee at the time the file was exported.
PAY: TFI Defaults
Key Functionality

This company code field is used when creating the periodic and quarterly tax files for ADP. The ADP Client ID will default to the Tax Filing Company Code field if one is set up in the ADP Defaults screen. If it is not set up, then the ADP Company Code that is in ADP Defaults is used.
Note that all three ADP Services issue their own company code that is used for their related services. Services consist of Check Printing, Tax Reporting, and W-2 Printing services.

This is hard coded list (AB = Airborne, ZZ = Domestic mail, UP = UPS, FX = Fedex) which tells ADP how to send out the checks.

If the employee's physical address is NE, then the associated value of 212 is populated in the file.
If the employee's physical address is SD, then the Default Bank Code value (###) is populated in the file.

The ADP Check Verification is a voice response verification process that ADP added in 2004 as a fraud deterrent. If you use this option on ADP Check, a message will print on check that states "Assistance with verification available at 877-423-7243". This functions similarly to the positive pay feature that banks utilize to make certain that the check number, payee and dollar amount on the check matches with the recon file supplied by the account holder.
ADP Check Verification allows a bank, merchant or institution that cashes the check the ability to verify that the check information matches what is in our system before they honor the check. If a call is made, the bank, merchant or institution will supply some basic information from the check. The system will search the data to see if it matches what we have on file. If it does match, a transaction number will be assigned and the merchant can write this on the check for future reference. If there is not a match, the caller will be told, the inquiry will be terminated and they should not honor the check.
