What Is Form 943?

The Form 943 is officially named the Employer’s Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employers. 

This form reports the taxes and federal withholding from the wages of farmworkers.  

Who Should File Form 943?

According to the IRS, if you paid any wages to a farmworker that were subject to social security taxes, Medicare taxes or federal income tax withholding, you need to file Form 943.

To determine if you must file this form, you can use the $150 test or the $2500 test. If you paid one worker more than $150 during the tax year, you must file. If you paid several workers $2500 or more collectively, you must file. 

The IRS encourages you to file this form electronically, as it will be more convenient for them and for you.
