Tax Radar lists the tax law changes Symmetry is tracking. Ask “Is Symmetry tracking this change?” or “What’s coming in Iowa?” and your assistant uses the ste_upcoming_tax_changes tool to answer.
Tax Radar shows what Symmetry is tracking, not what an employee will owe. It doesn’t return the new rate or wage base. Once a change is loaded into STE, use ste_tax_change_feed to see the previous and new values.

What you get back

The status doesn’t say the change is built, tested, or released. The effective date is when the law changes, not when Symmetry ships support for it. To see where a change came from, ask for the source. To check how current an answer is, ask when the data was last synced. Tax Radar data refreshes daily.

Ask by state, place, or tax

Your assistant picks the lookup key from your question. A tax ID lookup also shows whether the tax is tracked, on file with no tracked change, on file but inactive, or not on file. For an active tax, it adds the rate in force today and any scheduled rate.

Narrow the results

For state and locationCode lookups, you can filter by updateType (for example, Wage Base) and status (for example, Requirements Confirmed). Each filter takes up to five values, and a change must match both filters to appear.

When nothing is tracked

An empty answer means Tax Radar holds no tracked changes for what you asked. It doesn’t mean nothing is changing. The Tax Radar tool doesn’t cover Forms or Canada. It covers U.S. federal, state, and local taxes only.

Limits

  • More than 100 matching changes: the answer shows 100 and marks the list as partial. There is no paging.
  • More than 1,500 matching changes, more than 10 states, or rolldown for more than one state: the request is refused.
  • A uTaxID lookup is exact only and can’t be filtered.
Each refusal says how to fix the request.
