BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few helpful answers.
Can any small employer use Form 944?
No. The IRS must notify the employer in writing to file it. An expected liability of $1,000 or less alone does not authorize the annual form. Once notified, file Form 944 even if actual liability exceeds $1,000, unless the IRS changes your filing requirement.
Which tax years are available?
The final 2025 original is available. The 2026 edition will be offered after the final original is available; a draft is not used for completed returns.
What is calculated automatically?
The builder applies the printed Social Security, Medicare and Additional Medicare rates to the taxable wage bases entered, then calculates totals, balance or overpayment. Use actual eligible records for adjustments and credits.
Why are monthly liabilities sometimes hidden?
When Line 9 is below $2,500, the first Part 2 choice applies and monthly boxes stay blank. At $2,500 or more, monthly liabilities must reconcile, or Form 945-A is required for semiweekly depositors and applicable $100,000 next-day obligations.
Should I attach Schedule B?
No. Form 944 uses Form 945-A for the applicable semiweekly liability schedule. Schedule B is associated with Form 941.
Can I request direct deposit?
The 2025 original includes refund bank fields. Choose a refund and enter eligible routing and account details. Applying an overpayment to the next return leaves those fields blank.
Can I pay the IRS with the service fee?
No. The document fee is separate from tax payments. Follow the original IRS payment and deposit instructions; an optional payment voucher does not replace required deposits.
What does the price include?
$9.99 USD covers one complete three-page annual Form 944 PDF, with private access after checkout. Filing and additional attachments are separate.
