What is Form 941?
This form is the Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, it must be filed and submitted with the outstanding tax payment. All employers must withhold certain taxes from their employee’s paychecks, including Federal Income taxes, Medicare taxes, and Social Security taxes. Essentially, most business owners with employees must file this form on a quarterly basis.
What Businesses are Required to File?
If you paid wages to your employees during the quarter that are subject to withholding, you are required to file Form 941.
Once you have filed your first return, you will need to file a Form 941 online for every quarter, regardless of whether you have taxes to report, until you file a final return for your business.
There are a few exceptions to this. Seasonal employers aren’t required to file every quarter, and those that employ household workers or farm workers will be held to different filing requirements.
