    When they used to be zenpayroll, they were "delightful" and I remember that was their tagline. Not so much these days. They went downhill fast from having great Live Chat support (used to take seconds to get good answers from a real person) to email based tickets that sometimes don't get answered for 24+ hours. I guess they are at Web Scale at least. We have come full circle to Gusto becoming another ADP.

    Not useful for the OP, but for anyone considering Gusto I would highly recommend just going with a PEO, since they just deal with so many more things including remote workers in the US.

    I'm at the point where if a company is using Gusto I won't accept their offer since I spent 6 months+ dreaming with healthcare billing issues because they didn't terminate the healthcare plan correctly

    I've been struggling to get W2 errors resolved for months... been passed around and given vague answers and requests so many times... Gusto was supposed to be the company with great user support. My how they have fallen...

    Maybe it's time we banded together to get attention on social media. That seems the best way to get fixes these days...

    Hi @enlightens, I'm one of the founders at Gusto. Really sorry to hear about the tax issue your company is seeing. We've escalated this and we're going to get this resolved ASAP. After that, we'll make sure we learn form this issue to better inform similar situations in the future. If you'd like to connect w me directly, please DM me at twitter.com/tomerlondon and I'd love to talk.

    It’s unfortunate but tweeting or getting attention on LinkedIn can get you greater visibility. Depending on your company size too I would imagine you would have higher level of support.

    Gusto has horrible customer support.we switched to JustWorks, which isn’t perfect but much better. Gusto had good customer support when they launched, and it got much worse over time. For high stakes tax work they need professionals who take this work seriously, not a ticketing system where every ticket is completely disconnected from every other ticket.

    Hi OP- could you post an update here after? In the past I used PayChex instead of Gusto because I was worried about the lack of support so I'm curious how this ends up resolving now that you found an escalation specialist.

    Hope it all gets sorted out.
