Form 941 is the Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, is an IRS form that businesses must file every quarter to report payroll taxes. Specifically, it covers the federal income taxes withheld from employees’ wages, as well as the employer and employee portions of Social Security and Medicare taxes (commonly referred to as FICA taxes).
Employers are required to submit Form 941 every quarter, regardless of business activity during that period. Even if no wages were paid and no taxes are due, the form must still be filed by checking the appropriate box on Line 18.
