- Filing dates for Forms W-2 and 941
- When to distribute Forms W-2, 1095-C, and 1099-MISC
It also includes deposit due dates for important payments as well as the dates within which employers may make lawful shortfall deposits.
Note – Social Security Tax Deferrals from 2020:
Payment of deferred employer share of social security tax from 2020
If an employer deferred paying the employer's share of social security tax in 2020, 50% of the employer share of social security tax is due by January 3, 2022, and the remainder by January 3, 2023. Payments or deposits made before January 3, 2022, are first applied against the first 50% of the deferred employer share of social security tax, and then applied against the remainder of the deferred payments.
Payment of deferred employee share of social security tax from 2020
If an employer deferred withholding and payment of the employee's share of social security tax on wages and compensation between September 1 and December 31, 2020, the employer must withhold and pay those taxes no later than January 3, 2022.
