Navigating the 2024 Form 941: From Accurate Filing to Error Correction!

Form 941 serves as the crucial connection between your payroll records and the IRS tax records. Accurate administration of this essential form is vital to avoid IRS notices, penalties, and interest charges. Schedule B is equally important for many employers, as the IRS requires that Form 941 and Schedule B align precisely to the penny every single time.

It has always been a requirement that Forms 941 be reconciled with Forms W-2 prior to submitting each form. Failure to reconcile these forms accurately can result in penalties from both the IRS and the Social Security Administration. This reconciliation has become even more critical these past few years.
