  • Income and FICA Tax Return Requirements

    Most employers are required to file Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, to report both the federal income taxes you withheld and the FICA taxes you withheld and paid during a calendar quarter. (Employers who qualify for annual reporting/payment, file Form 944.)

    The deadline for filing Form 941 is the last day of the first month after a quarter ends. However, if you've been timely with each of your deposits during the quarter, you're entitled to an automatic 10-day extension. No other extensions are permitted for filing Form 941.

    If you close your business or otherwise permanently stop paying wages that subject you to payroll taxes, you can end your obligation to file quarterly returns. You do this by designating the return for the last quarter that you pay taxable wages as a "final" return, by checking a box at the top of the return.
