Making Payments With Form 941

Cents

Form 941 (Rev. 1-2013)

Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice.
We ask for the information on Form 941 to carry out the
Internal Revenue laws of the United States. We need it to
figure and collect the right amount of tax. Subtitle C,
Employment Taxes, of the Internal Revenue Code
imposes employment taxes on wages and provides for
income tax withholding. Form 941 is used to determine
the amount of taxes that you owe. Section 6011 requires
you to provide the requested information if the tax is
applicable to you. Section 6109 requires you to provide
your identification number. If you fail to provide this
information in a timely manner, or provide false or
fraudulent information, you may be subject to penalties.
You are not required to provide the information
requested on a form that is subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act unless the form displays a valid OMB
control number. Books and records relating to a form or
its instructions must be retained as long as their contents
may become material in the administration of any Internal
Revenue law.
Generally, tax returns and return information are
confidential, as required by section 6103. However,
section 6103 allows or requires the IRS to disclose or
give the information shown on your tax return to others
as described in the Code. For example, we may
disclose your tax information to the Department of

Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities,
states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. commonwealths
and possessions for use in administering their tax laws.
We may also disclose this information to other countries
under a tax treaty, to federal and state agencies to
enforce federal nontax criminal laws, or to federal law
enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat
terrorism.
The time needed to complete and file Form 941 will
vary depending on individual circumstances. The
estimated average time is:
Recordkeeping . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 hr.
Learning about the law or the form . . . . 47 min.
Preparing, copying, assembling, and
sending the form to the IRS . . . . . . . . 1 hr.
If you have comments concerning the accuracy of
these time estimates or suggestions for making Form 941
simpler, we would be happy to hear from you. You can
email us at [email protected]. Enter “Form 941” on the
subject line. Or write to: Internal Revenue Service, Tax
Products Coordinating Committee, SE:W:CAR:MP:T:M:S,
1111 Constitution Ave. NW, IR-6526, Washington, DC
20224. Do not send Form 941 to this address. Instead,
see Where Should You File? in the Instructions for
Form 941.
