What is the Quarterly Federal Tax Form 941?

According to the law, Employers are required to report tax withholdings from their employees’ wages to the IRS. Federal income taxes, social security tax, and Medicare tax should be withheld from employees’ earnings and reported using Quarterly Form 941. You might also choose to withhold an additional Medicare tax from employees who earn more than $200,000 in a calendar year. Under the withholding tax system, taxes withheld from employees are credited to them to help them meet their tax obligations.
