Order Process
Step 1: Place an order with CorpNet through the Fingercheck website
You’ll start by answering some questions in the Employer Tax Registration Ordering process on the CorpNet website.
Step 2: CorpNet receives your order & applies to the state
Once CorpNet receives your employer tax registration information, it will work with you to obtain any additional information needed. Then CorpNet will submit your application to the appropriate agencies. Once the submission is complete, some agencies will provide your account numbers and rates immediately. If this is not the case, CorpNet will notify you via email of how you can expect this information.
Step 3: Add your Tax Registration information to your Fingercheck account
Once the state agencies have completed processing your request, you will either receive your account number and rates via the CorpNet portal or the state agency will send you your information directly. You will then be required to input your state tax information into your Fingercheck account.
Step 4: Run payroll
With your tax information inputted into your Fingercheck account, you should be set up to run payroll. Fingercheck will assist you in running payroll and filling out employer quarterly returns.
