How Do I Use The Payday Filing Mailbox And Retrieve A Return?

The Payday Filing Mailbox lets you review Employment Information submissions already sent from Lightning Payroll and check Inland Revenue for updated return details.

What the mailbox is for

• See the filing history for Employment Information submissions.
• Check which submissions are still pending a final response.
• Retrieve the Inland Revenue return for a specific submission.
• Print or preview the retrieved response report.

How to use it

1. Open Payday Filing Mailbox from the Pays area.
2. Click Connect to IRD and complete the browser login if needed.
3. Click Check for token.
4. Use the mailbox actions to check pending submissions or retrieve a specific return.

What you will see in a retrieved return

The retrieved report can include filing status information, return totals, and employee-level details returned by Inland Revenue. This is useful when you want to confirm whether a filing was accepted, rejected, or needs follow-up.
