One institution, multiple reporting obligations.

Every banking relationship comes with different tax reporting requirements. When deposit income, loan interest, retirement distributions, canceled debt, and vendor payments are spread across different systems, getting a complete view becomes difficult.

The complete reporting picture is fragmented

Core, servicing, retirement, and AP systems each hold a piece of the reporting requirement. There is no single team that has a complete view of what the institution has to file.

Some reporting obligations last all year

Mortgage and motor vehicle lending have reporting obligations throughout the year. Payoffs, foreclosures, repossessions, and canceled debt are tracked through in servicing and recovery activity, not from a single year-end file.

The right taxpayer identity isn’t obvious

A retail bank or credit union serves different types of customers, including a sole proprietor, an LLC, or a trust. Each of the customers may have different taxpayer identification (name, entity type, or TIN) and reporting requirements.

Bring different reporting obligations into a more consistent workflow.

Report across every relationship you hold

A centralized workflow covers applicable federal and state reporting for deposit, lending, retirement, member and vendor obligations, making tax reporting easier to manage.

Zenwork does not replace core processing, servicing, or lending platforms. Form, jurisdiction and feature availability varies by tax year, integration, and package.

Tax-exempt doesn’t mean reporting exempt.

A tax exemption status doesn’t mean a credit union is exempt from information reporting obligations. Dividends, lending activity, retirement distributions, canceled debt, and vendor payments still require reporting. Even smaller credit unions must comply with this IRS rule.

Caught early, it’s a simple correction. Found late, it reaches the member.

Errors found during validation checks can be resolved inside the workflow before filing. If a mistake is caught after filing, it becomes a notice and withholding issue.

Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) stay in the same process

Zenwork offers filing support for credit unions and applicable CUSOs through one workflow at the entity-level status while maintaining visibility into each entity’s filing responsibilities.

Controls that match how the institution is governed.

  • See the evidence behind the record

    Record and capture IRS acknowledgments, rejections, corrections, delivery, and approvals for faster audit preparation, and less time spent on reconstruction.
