Here’s what you need to know about Q3 Form 941:
Who Needs to File Form 941?
Form 941 is the Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return. Employers must file Form 941 to report incomes taxes, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax withheld from employee’s paychecks. Employers must also use Form 941 to pay their own portion of Social Security and Medicare tax. So, any person or business that pays wages to an employee must file IRS Form 941 on a quarterly basis.
The only exceptions to this filing requirement are for seasonal employers who don’t pay employee wages during one or more quarters, employers of household employees, and employers of agricultural employees.
When is the Third Quarter Filing Deadline?
The third quarter filing deadline for Form 941 is November 01, 2021. It is extremely important to file Form 941 on or before the deadline. If you don’t file your return on time, your business may be subject to penalties from the IRS.
These penalties include
- Initially, you may incur a penalty of 5% of the total tax amount due
- You’ll be penalized an additional 5% each month for up to 5 months
- The IRS also charges a 0.5% tax on the unpaid tax amount if you pay the Form 941 taxes late
The IRS may waive the late filing penalties if you have a valid reason for filing late.
Changes to Form 941 for Q3
Luckily, there haven’t been any changes to Form 941 itself for the third quarter. The only change the filers need to be aware of has to do with the employee retention credit.
Instead of using Worksheet 2 to calculate refundable and nonrefundable portions of the employee retention credit, filers should use Worksheet 4. So, Worksheet 4 will now be used to calculate the employee retention credit for the third and fourth quarter Form 941.
