      ** 2019, my company became a client of Quartermaster Payroll, when I was hiring my first two CA employees. As I grew my team, I asked the owner, if they could support payroll for out-of-state employees. He assured me he could do the registration and appropriate filings and said there would be admin fees to get them set up. I agreed to let him do it. I ended up hiring a total of 4 out of state employees in OR, **, ** and **. Fast forward to Dec 2022. We were growing and I made the business decision to switch to a PEO so that we could bundle payroll/benefits/HR services, etc. Thats when I learned that Quartermaster NEVER registered our company with any of the other states. Quartermaster Payroll was *withholding* payroll taxes and UI deductions but not actually filing and paying them to the appropriate states where my remote employees resided! I spoke with the owner on Dec 12th 2022 and he assured me that the taxes and UI monies were sitting in escrow and impound accounts until the registrations were completed. He also told me that hed get started on getting ** properly registered. He got OR set up then I started getting LATE NOTICE penalties and interest for late filings. I set up ** and began getting late notices there too. Every time I receive a notice, I send it to the owner and request an update on the status of the filings for all of ********** because I want to get caught up. *** called, he never answers the phone or returns my phone calls. Ive emailed and he almost NEVER responds.As of today, 4/28/23, I have no idea the status of **, **, or **. I do know that ** is waiting to be filed but I had to pay another penalty there yesterday. I need to know what states have been properly registered, filed and paid and whether or not we are due a refund.

      Quartermaster Payroll has failed to pay my out of state taxes in ************ and the penalties are mounting. In January 2023, they provide me with a Ca and PA W-2, but all my taxes and payments are only showing on my CA w-2. After 7 weeks of voicemails and emails, the company has failed to correct my W-2s and has not paid my taxes in PA.
