Properly setting up your bank account is essential for timely tax remittance. Since states can impose penalties for failed or bounced payments, please ensure the following before your first filing:

  • The account and routing numbers are set up for ACH debits, not wire transfers.

  • There are no ACH blockers that could prevent transactions.

  • Your bank has each state’s ACH Originator ID added (see table below).

  • The account has sufficient funds to cover transactions each month. Ideally, set aside collected tax in a separate account.

  • If you are based outside the U.S., your bank account must be U.S.-based.

Best Practices

  • Monitor your account each period to ensure funds are withdrawn correctly. Numeral initiates separate transactions for each state from the linked tax remittance account. Failed payments may take 3–5 business days to process, and some states may not report issues immediately, which can lead to penalties.

  • Use a dedicated account for tax collections so funds are always available.

  • Update your bank account at the end of a month (after filings) or the beginning of a month (before filings).

To update your banking information in Numeral:

  1. Log in to your Numeral dashboard.

  2. Click Settings → Company → Bank Account.

  3. Re-run the checklist above for the new account.
