2025 IRS and State Notifications
Forward unemployment rate and tax filing frequency notices to Insperity
Unemployment rates and tax filing frequency changes are mailed to the taxpayer, not to Insperity. It is imperative these tax-related communications are forwarded to Insperity immediately.
For those clients in the states of Washington and Wyoming, we also require your 2025 Workers Compensation rates, as those are remitted with tax payments.
We require this information to ensure your taxes are paid accurately and timely in 2025. Please send your information to ips.tax@insperity.com
Late tax payments result in interest and penalty charges. If your federal or state tax filing frequency, filing method, and/or tax rate are changed and you do not notify Insperity, we will not be responsible for any penalties or interest that may be charged.

Applicant Tracking
ATS Planned Maintenance Notification
Maintenance begins Friday, November 15th, at 10:00 p.m. ET
We want to inform you of an upcoming scheduled maintenance update for isolved Applicant Tracking. On Friday, November 15th we will be migrating to a new data storage provider, a change that will enhance security and scalability.
The planned maintenance will begin at 10:00 p.m. ET on November 15th. This update requires a short period of downtime, during which users will not be able to access the system. We anticipate the update will take 1-3 hours.
Clients who have whitelisted the previous outgoing IP address will need to update to the new outgoing IP address that will take effect during the planned maintenance: 13.89.216.242
Enhanced Employee Search and Navigation
Faster load times in the Employee User tab!
This week you’ll get faster load times in the Employee User tab! Whether you’re searching for a specific employee or managing a large list, you’ll now experience quicker load times, along with new pagination for lists of over 250 users. The page is now alphabetically sorted by last name, making it easier to locate employees and access other features seamlessly.
