Generate US tax forms
What this achieves
Section titled “What this achieves”Humavera generates standard US payroll tax forms from your finalised payroll, for you or your accountant to file. This page covers producing them, and where Humavera’s responsibility ends.
Required role: Administrator. This screen appears only when your organization has a US legal entity.
Humavera does not file or remit
Section titled “Humavera does not file or remit”State this clearly before anyone plans around it. Humavera generates the forms from your finalised payroll. It does not e-file them and it does not remit taxes — filing and remittance go through a filing partner.
Producing a form here is therefore a step in your filing process, not the completion of it.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”The forms are built from finalised payroll, so the periods they cover must be finalised first. A form generated mid-period reflects only what has been finalised.
- Go to Payroll → US Tax Forms.
- Choose the Legal entity.
- Choose the Tax year, and the Quarter where the form is quarterly.
- Choose the Employee where the form is per-employee.
- Select Download W-2, Download W-3, or Download 941.
What is available on this screen
Section titled “What is available on this screen”| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| W-2 | Per-employee annual wage and tax statement. |
| W-3 | The transmittal summarising the W-2s for the entity. |
| 941 | The quarterly federal return. |
Two further forms are generated from contractor payments you supply, rather than from this screen: 1099-NEC and 1096. Others are not available yet: 940, 944, and state forms.
Check what is available before committing to a filing timetable that assumes a form Humavera does not yet produce.
Entity, not company
Section titled “Entity, not company”Forms are produced per legal entity, because that is the filing unit. A company with more than one US entity produces a set per entity rather than one combined set.
Example: a group holding two separate registered US companies files two sets. Combining them would misstate each entity’s return, even though the same people administer both.
What happens next
Section titled “What happens next”Pass the generated forms to whoever files for you. Because Humavera does not remit, your own filing deadlines and payment obligations are unchanged by generating them here — track those on your own timetable.
