Making Payments With Form 941
To avoid a penalty, make your payment with Form 941
only if:
• Your net taxes for either the current quarter or the
preceding quarter (line 10 on Form 941) are less than
$2,500, you did not incur a $100,000 next-day deposit
obligation during the current quarter, and you are paying
in full with a timely filed return or
• You are a monthly schedule depositor making a
payment in accordance with the Accuracy of Deposits
Rule. See section 11 of Pub. 15 (Circular E), Employer's
Tax Guide, for details. In this case, the amount of your
payment may be $2,500 or more.
Otherwise, you must deposit your payment at an
authorized financial institution or by using the Electronic
Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). See section 11 of
Pub. 15 (Circular E) for deposit instructions. Do not use
Form 941-V to make federal tax deposits.

Caution. Use Form 941-V when making any payment with
Form 941. However, if you pay an amount with Form 941
that should have been deposited, you may be subject to a
penalty. See Deposit Penalties in section 11 of Pub. 15
(Circular E).
