Form 941 – A Quick Recap
Form 941, Employers Quarterly Federal Tax Return, is the quarterly tax form used by employers to report federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare tax withheld from the employee’s paycheck. Both the employee and employer share of Social Security and Medicare tax must be reported on Form 941.
Additional Attachments for Form 941
Employers and tax professionals should be aware of the following additional requirements that may need to be attached when filing Form 941:
- Form 941 Schedule B: Semi-weekly depositors must attach this schedule, which provides a daily breakdown of federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare taxes withheld from employees’ paychecks.
- Form 941 Schedule R: This is applicable only to aggregate filers, such as Certified Professional Employer Organizations (CPEOs) and Section 3504 agents. This schedule is used to allocate aggregate wages reported on Form 941 to each client.
