DESCRIPTION
Determine Form 941 compliance requirements and what to do when you need to correct an error on prior returns.
The IRS collects hundreds of billions of dollars of employment taxes each year - more than any other source of revenue. Form 941 and related forms lie at the heart of the IRS' employment tax collection system. Much of the administrative burden under that system falls on employers. An employer's failure to understand and comply with its obligations can result in IRS assessments, audits and penalties. This topic will help tax and payroll specialists and others with an interest in this issue to understand the employer's obligations under the employment tax collection system, including how to handle corrections and disputes when they arise.
