Form 944 or officially the Employer’s Annual Federal Tax Return is for employers whose annual liability for social security, Medicare, and withheld federal income taxes is $1,000 or less. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the U.S. federal tax agency, allows the smallest employers to file and pay taxes once a year. The IRS will notify you in writing if you are qualified to use Form 944.
If you are an employer and your annual liability for the above-mentioned taxes is or below $1,000, you must use Form 944 to file annually instead of using Form 941 or Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return that requires employers to report quarterly federal tax return to the IRS. The IRS introduced Form 944 to give qualified employers a break in filing and paying federal tax income withheld and social security ad Medicare payments from employees.
According to the IRS, when using Form 994, you will need to report the following amounts:
Only employers who received a notification from the IRS can use and file Form 994. Aside from employers who are not notified, household and agricultural employers cannot file the form.
File Form 994 only once a calendar year. In general, the last day of filing is on January 31st of each year. If you made deposits on time in full payment of the taxes due for the year, you may file the return by February 10. According to the IRS, when it receives Form 944 after the due date, the filing will only be treated as on time if the envelope containing the form is properly addressed, contains sufficient postage, and is postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service on or before the due date, or sent by an IRS-designated private delivery service (PDS) on or before the due date.
Failure to file and inaccuracy in the reported amounts result in penalties and interests.
