• Complete monthly, quarterly, and annual tax reconciliations, identifying discrepancies and routing non-routine findings to a Tax Processor 3 or above for review
• Examine payroll records within own caseload for proper tax treatment and compliance with applicable laws
• Respond to tax-related inquiries from customers and internal teams, explaining standard filing requirements and processes within established communication protocols
• Interact with peers in other departments (payroll operations, customer support) to coordinate resolution of specific, non-escalated cases
• Flag recurring process friction or documentation gaps to senior Tax Processors or leadership, without owning the redesign (see Discussion Point 6)
• Support onboarding of new Tax Processor 1s by answering procedural questions, without formal mentoring responsibility (see Discussion Point 5)
