| Field | Value | Conf | Note — and what a correct answer needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income and employment verification | Yes — Payroll VOIE + identities | D | The /identities resource includes employment_status, job_title, hire_date, original_hire_date, base_pay and pay_cycle; /employments links records per job. Source |
| Pay statements | Yes — paystubs + documents | D | /paystubs is 'the digital equivalent of a traditional paystub' with gross and net pay, hours, hours_ytd and deduction lines; original documents come from /payroll-documents with a file_url. Source |
| Tax forms | Yes — W-2/1099 documents | D | Payroll documents from connected accounts include W-2s and 1099s, with scanned values in ocr_data (payroll_documents.ocr_completed webhook). Source |
| Direct deposit switching | Yes — Link deposit switch | D | Accounts carry a direct_deposit_switch status (idle, awaiting_confirmation, scanning, updating, success, error), with Target Deposit Destinations and a direct_deposit_switches.completed webhook. The argyle.com deposit-switching solution page now redirects elsewhere. Source |
| Deduction and benefit write | Unverified | U | A 'Paycheck-linked lending' Link flow is listed, but no endpoint writing a payroll deduction was found. A correct answer needed a documented deduction-write API. |
| 401(k) and retirement | Unverified | U | The paystub deduction schema has amount, name, tax_classification and amount_ytd, with no retirement category. A correct answer needed a retirement deduction field or deferral write. |

| Data freshness | Ongoing refresh + webhooks | D | Active connections keep delivering new paystubs and documents at the interval in features.data_retrieval.refresh_frequency, with .added/.updated/.removed webhooks. Source |
| Permission and auth model | Consumer login via Link | D | Users connect employer or payroll accounts in Link (embedded, hosted or invite); the API uses HTTP basic auth with api_key_id:api_key_secret. Source |
| Coverage claim (as stated) | 91% of US workforce | D | Homepage: 'Broader coverage 91% of the U.S. workforce'. Source |
