I have a few payroll clients. The IRS will soon no longer accept paper filed 941. I have an ERO account for tax returns. And my understanding is that the IRS needs a new ERO account for the payroll tax returns. In the IRS's infinite wisdom, they will disable your existing ERO account used for filing tax returns, if you sign up for an ERO for payroll tax. Someone on this board reported this but this person was not the one in charge of filing tax returns for the firm she worked for. Disabling my ERO number will take me out of business for about 3 months, because of few people working for the IRS, which means it will be fixed when the IRS has time.
If I move all payroll clients to Gusto, does my firm still need an ERO account? We'll be filing as the accountant, not as the firm the client has.
