Questions, answered
Does it file the negative reports itself?
No. WebRun only tracks which nil reports are owed, books the deadlines, and posts a Slack list. Filing each negative report stays with your team, so nothing is submitted to a state on its own.
Why bother tracking nil reports at all?
Because several states require a negative report even when you have nothing to escheat, and missing one can trigger penalties. Tracking them means a required nil filing is never overlooked just because there was no property that cycle.
How does it know which states need a nil report?
It reads your registered states in Simple Escheat and applies each jurisdiction's negative-report rule, so only the states that actually require a nil filing appear on the owed list.
