Time-saving Q3 941 Filing Tips for Business Owners
Summer has officially passed, “pumpkin spice” everything has hit the shelves, and the third quarter is a wrap. Now that we’ve made it through another season, let’s talk about the Form 941 deadline.
The 2022 Q3 deadline is coming up on October 31, 2022. This may seem far off, but it will be here before you know it, so why wait?
Here are some of our top tips to help you master your Form 941 this quarter!
Be Aware of any IRS Updates to 941
It has been a whole quarter since you filed last, and if you’re a seasonal employer then it may have been even longer! There were a few changes implemented last quarter, but the good news is that there aren’t any major changes to 941 for the third quarter.
If you filed successfully last quarter, you can do it again, and TaxBandits is here to help.
If you find yourself needing a refresher, you’ve come to the right place!
Remember, the most notable change to Form 941 for the second quarter was the expiration of the COVID-19 tax credits, this remains in effect for the third quarter as well. The following credits can no longer be claimed for the current quarter:
- Refundable and nonrefundable portions of sick and family leave wages
- The Employee Retention Credit (ERC)
- COBRA Premium Assistance Credit
As far as worksheets go, there are still two available. Employers only need them if they are reporting credits claimed on wages in previous quarters. Here they are:
- Worksheet 1: Credit for Qualified Sick and Family Leave Wages Paid This Quarter of 2022 for Leave Taken After March 31, 2020, and Before April 1, 2021
- Worksheet 2: Credit for Qualified Sick and Family Leave Wages Paid This Quarter of 2022 for Leave Taken After March 31, 2021, and Before October 1, 2021
