Form 944 Pr Int 2011-2024

Hey, this is John from What is QuickBooks.com. What you see in front of you right now is the QuickBooks Premier Edition 2012 home screen. Incidentally, the tip I'm going to show you will work with QuickBooks 2008 or above. If you are a small business owner and you've been in business for some time, then you are familiar with the employer's quarterly federal tax return. If you're not, let me give you a little bit of background information. What is Form 941? Well, Form 941 is a federal tax form, also known as the employer's quarterly federal tax return. It reports the number of employees, the amount of social security taxes, the amount of Medicare taxes, and income taxes you have payable to the federal government. Now, you might ask, who uses Form 941? Well, Form 941 is typically used by small business owners. Now, you might be asking why. Every business owner is required to submit a completed IRS tax form 941, especially if you withheld Social Security, federal, and Medicare taxes from any of your workers' paychecks. Now, if you have ever done this return manually, you know that it can be somewhat of a headache and somewhat cumbersome to complete. The reason I have the screen in front of you is that QuickBooks has a really neat and a really quick way of producing this form for you, provided that you are using it and you are using the employees' payroll function. And if you are, it's really simple. Now, if you are not using QuickBooks, I recommend that you do get a copy of QuickBooks. Now, if you want more information about QuickBooks, you can go to my website, What is QuickBooks.com, to get more information. I'm going to show you how to quickly produce the form 941 using QuickBooks....
