Employer's Annual Federal Tax Return and Modifications to the Deposit Rules

Streszczenie

This document contains final regulations relating to the Employers' Annual Federal Tax Program (the Form 944 Program) and the requirements for depositing social security, Medicare, and withheld Federal income taxes (collectively "employment taxes"). These final regulations allow certain employers to file a Form 944, "Employer's ANNUAL Federal Tax Return," rather than Forms 941, "Employer's QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return." Additionally, these final regulations provide guidance related to the lookback periods and deposit requirements for employers required to file Forms 941 and Form 944. These final regulations affect taxpayers that file Forms 941, Form 944, and any related Spanish-language returns or returns for U.S. possessions.
