Rhode Island Third-Party Access (TPA) and Power of Attorney (POA) Requirements
Why is this important?
Beyond collaborates with government agencies on your behalf by handling new hire reporting, tax rate calculations, payment of taxes and insurance contributions, and filing all necessary financial reports. To ensure these processes run smoothly, you must grant us authorization to represent your business with tax authorities in each state where you have tax responsibilities.
For example, if your company operates in both Rhode Island and Connecticut, you’ll need to complete and submit a Power of Attorney for both states.
