E-file Form 941 in Minutes to Meet the First Quarter Deadline!


Guys, guys, guys!

The 2017 first quarter deadline for Form 941 is almost here!

Monday, May 1, is the last day to have your 941 Form filed to report your wages paid and Medicare and social security taxes withheld and owed for the first quarter of the tax year 2017. And at this point, so close to the deadline, your best bet is to e-file that baby.

Of course, as an IRS-authorized e-filing software company, we’re a little biased. But it’s really only because we’ve worked so hard to make IRS form e-filing as fast, easy, and cost-effective as possible.
