DESCRIPTION
The new Form 941 has been modified a lot over the last year to include all the COVID-19 credits. This has been a huge challenge to employers. But deadlines with the IRS remained the same. Some employers found out after they failed to make the deadline that they did it wrong. Now employers are asking how I fix my mistakes.
Form 941-X (Adjusted Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund Form) is used to correct any errors made on Form 941. If you find an error on a previously filed Form 941, you must correct this error using Form 941-X.
The following information is required when filing Form 941-X:
- Underreported taxes - reporting less income or revenue than was actually received
- Overreported taxes - reporting more income or revenue than was actually received
If you are filing Form 941-X for underreported taxes, you must make a tax payment when you file the Form. When reporting overreported taxes, you can claim either a refund or abatement for your next return.
