District of Columbia - TPA & POA Requirements

Why this matters

Beyond works directly with state agencies on your behalf to handle essential payroll and tax responsibilities. This includes reporting new hires to the Department of Employment Services, calculating and paying taxes, managing insurance contributions, and submitting necessary filings.

To perform these tasks in DC – or any other state where your business has tax obligations – you must grant us the required authorizations.

For example, if you operate in both the District of Columbia and Pennsylvania, you’ll need to complete and return a Power of Attorney (POA) for each state.
