Follow these Form 941-SS instructions to inform tax organizations about Medicare and social security taxes you deducted from your employees' wages:

1. Provide information about your organization - its employer identification number, the name of the business, and the correspondence address . You must also add your own name and check the box to specify what quarter is described in writing.

2. Answer various questions related to the operations of your business during the quarter - how many employees you paid, how big the amount of taxable wages is, what adjustments were applied to taxes, what credits you claimed, and what the total balance is . It is possible you are dealing with the overpayment of tax - in this case, you may ask for a refund or apply it when you file the next return.

3. Inform the IRS about your tax liability and the deposit schedule you adhered to during the quarter in question . List more specifics about your organization whether you shut down the company, you qualify for a seasonal employer status, or you are entitled to submit information about different health plan expenses.

4. Authorize the fiscal authorities to discuss the details you have recorded in the form with a third party - it may be your representative or a tax professional you specifically hired to assist you with the paperwork. The form needs to include their personal and contact information.

5. Confirm the statements in the document are true and accurate by adding your name, title, and telephone number, entering the actual date, and signing the papers . If another individual prepared the instrument for you, they must identify themselves as well.

6. Fill out the payment voucher if you need to attach a payment to the 941-SS Form . List your employer identification number, specify the amount of payment, check the box to point out the tax period, and state the details of your business.
