Intuit partners with SimpleClosure for QuickBooks tax offboarding
The integration helps QuickBooks Workforce users close state tax accounts in under 10 minutes.
Intuit has partnered with SimpleClosure to assist QuickBooks Workforce customers in closing state payroll tax accounts when they stop running payroll or shut down their business. The integration provides users with a direct path to offboard state tax obligations and access broader dissolution services covering more than 95 operational steps of a shutdown.
The service addresses compliance risks that arise when payroll accounts remain active after employee payments end. With over 100 state tax agencies and thousands of local agencies across the United States, requirements differ widely. SimpleClosure enables QuickBooks users to securely transfer existing account details directly from the platform, completing state-specific account closures typically in under 10 minutes.
Closing out payroll tax accounts is a manual, multi-step process that is often challenging for small and mid-market businesses to navigate. Integrating SimpleClosure directly into QuickBooks Workforce turns that process into a seamless, done-for-you experience that helps reduce the research, guesswork, and risk of surprise penalties down the road.
According to an August 2026 test of 4,000 customers, onboarding and closing at least one state tax account took an average of 7.3 minutes, with additional accounts averaging 20 seconds. Customers average 1.5 state tax account IDs to close. SimpleClosure has closed approximately 14,000 payroll tax accounts for more than 7,000 customers to date.
