Stopping payroll doesn’t
end your state obligations.
Every state has different agencies, forms, timelines, and submission requirements. Doing it yourself can take hours of research and follow-up, while one missed step can leave an account open and lead to continued filings, notices, fees, or penalties.
Different requirements in every state
Over 100 state tax agencies have different timelines and submission processes, leaving businesses to identify open accounts, required forms, and where to send them.
Problems can surface months later
A missed account or rejected form may not become obvious until a notice arrives months after payroll ends.
Payroll software made it easy to start.
We make it easy to stop.
Payroll tax account closure has historically been an overlooked part of the payroll lifecycle. We turn a process that takes hours of research and can be difficult to get right into a simple experience for closing accounts when they’re no longer needed.
Save time on state-by-state research
We identify the right agencies, forms, and requirements for each state, so you don’t have to track them down yourself.
Close every account correctly the first time
Each closure is prepared and submitted according to the state’s requirements, so you don’t have to worry about rejected forms or overlooked accounts.

What our customers are saying.
Selling my business still came with so many loose ends, and figuring out what needed to happen and when quickly became overwhelming. I found SimpleClosure while canceling our payroll as part of winding down the LLC, and it was probably the easiest part of the entire process. The experience was so quick and straightforward that I was surprised when I was already done. Having something take a complicated administrative task off my plate made a real difference.
