Why is there a prepayment on my liability worksheet?
Overview
When reviewing your liability worksheet, you noticed a prepayment amount listed and are wondering why it is there.
Environment
Avalara Returns
Resolution
- Prepayments are populated on the liability worksheet due to the settings on your filing calendar.
- If you are not required to file prepayments on your returns, please open a case with Support to inform our Returns team of this.
- Include the following detail in your case:
- State
- Form
- Effective Period
- Example request:
- For the WA Multipurpose form, please remove the prepayment amount effective 6/1/2017 as we are not required to file any prepayments with the state.
- Include the following detail in your case:
- If any prepayments have already been filed with the state that should not have, please contact them directly and follow their procedures of obtaining a refund of those amounts.
- If you are unsure if you are required to file prepayments, please contact the state's Department of Revenue to discuss those requirements.
- Avalara would not be aware if this is required for your company unless you reported it to us.
