Abstract: Form MTQ/941 is uses by employers to report payments made to employees subject to income and social security and Medicare taxes and the amounts of these taxes. The state of Montana and the Simplified Tax and Wage Reporting System (STAWRS) have formed a partnership to explore the potential of combining Montana's quarterly reports for state withholding, Old Fund Liability tax, and Unemployment Insurance with the Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return (Form 941). One form will satisfy both state and federal requirements and will make employer filing faster and easier.
