Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information. Do not file draft forms and do
not rely on draft forms, instructions, and publications for filing. We do not
release draft forms until we believe we have incorporated all changes (except
when explicitly stated on this coversheet). However, unexpected issues
occasionally arise, or legislation is passed—in this case, we will post a new draft
of the form to alert users that changes were made to the previously posted draft.
Thus, there are never any changes to the last posted draft of a form and the
final revision of the form. Forms and instructions generally are subject to OMB
approval before they can be officially released, so we post only drafts of them
until they are approved. Drafts of instructions and publications usually have
some changes before their final release.
Early release drafts are at IRS.gov/DraftForms and remain there after the
final release is posted at IRS.gov/LatestForms. All information about all forms,
instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms.
Almost every form and publication has a page on IRS.gov with a friendly
shortcut. For example, the Form 1040 page is at IRS.gov/Form1040; the Pub.
501 page is at IRS.gov/Pub501; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/W4; and the
Schedule A (Form 1040/SR) page is at IRS.gov/ScheduleA. If typing in a link
above instead of clicking on it, be sure to type the link into the address bar of
your browser, not a Search box.
If you wish, you can submit comments to the IRS about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications at IRS.gov/FormsComments. We cannot respond to
all comments due to the high volume we receive and may not be able to
consider many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product.
If you have comments on reducing paperwork and respondent (filer) burden,
with respect to draft or final forms, please respond to the relevant information
collection through the Federal Register process; for more info, click here.

Read the separate instructions before completing this form. Use this form to correct errors you made on Form 943, Employer’s Annual
Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees. Use a separate Form 943-X for each year that needs correction. Type or print within
the boxes. You MUST complete all four pages. Don’t attach this form to Form 943 unless you’re reclassifying workers; see the
instructions for line 32.

Part 1: Select ONLY one process. See page 5 for additional guidance.

1. Adjusted employment tax return. Check this box if you underreported amounts. Also check this box if you overreported amounts and you would like to
use the adjustment process to correct the errors. You must check this box if you’re correcting both underreported and overreported amounts on this
form. The amount shown on line 25, if less than zero, may only be applied as a credit to your Form 943 for the tax period in which you’re filing this form.
2. Claim. Check this box if you overreported amounts only and you would like to use the claim process to ask for a refund or abatement
of the amount shown on line 25. Don’t check this box if you’re correcting ANY underreported amounts on this form.

Part 2: Complete the certifications.
3. I certify that I’ve filed or will file Forms W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or Forms W-2c, Corrected Wage and Tax Statement, as required.

Note: If you’re correcting underreported amounts only, go to Part 3 on page 2 and skip lines 4 and 5. If you’re correcting overreported
amounts, for purposes of the certifications on lines 4 and 5, Medicare tax doesn’t include Additional Medicare Tax. Form 943-X can’t be
used to correct overreported amounts of Additional Medicare Tax unless the amounts weren’t withheld from employee wages.
4. If you checked line 1 because you’re adjusting overreported federal income tax withholding, social security tax, Medicare tax, or
Additional Medicare Tax, check all that apply. You must check at least one box.
I certify that:
a. I repaid or reimbursed each affected employee for the overcollected social security tax and Medicare tax for prior years. I have a
written statement from each affected employee stating that he or she hasn’t claimed (or the claim was rejected) and won’t claim a
refund or credit for the overcollection.
b. The adjustments of social security tax and Medicare tax are for the employer’s share only. I couldn’t find the affected employees or
each affected employee didn’t give me a written statement that he or she hasn’t claimed (or the claim was rejected) and won’t claim
a refund or credit for the overcollection.
c. The adjustment is for federal income tax, social security tax, Medicare tax, or Additional Medicare Tax that I didn’t withhold from
employee wages.
5. If you checked line 2 because you’re claiming a refund or abatement of overreported federal income tax withholding, social
security tax, Medicare tax, or Additional Medicare Tax, check all that apply. You must check at least one box.
I certify that:
a. I repaid or reimbursed each affected employee for the overcollected social security tax and Medicare tax for prior years. I have a
written statement from each affected employee stating that he or she hasn’t claimed (or the claim was rejected) and won’t claim a
refund or credit for the overcollection.
b. I have a written consent from each affected employee stating that I may file this claim for the employee’s share of social
security tax and Medicare tax overcollected in prior years. I also have a written statement from each affected employee stating that
he or she hasn’t claimed (or the claim was rejected) and won’t claim a refund or credit for the overcollection.
c. The claim for social security tax and Medicare tax is for the employer’s share only. I couldn’t find the affected employees; or each
affected employee didn’t give me a written consent to file a refund claim for the employee’s share of social security tax and
Medicare tax; or each affected employee didn’t give me a written statement that he or she hasn’t claimed (or the claim was rejected)
and won’t claim a refund or credit for the overcollection.
d. The claim is for federal income tax, social security tax, Medicare tax, or Additional Medicare Tax that I didn’t withhold from
employee wages.
