Report of Discrepancies Caused by Acquisitions, Statutory Mergers, or Consolidations

Rev. June 2011

Schedule D (Form 941) is a document used to report discrepancies in wages and taxes paid to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) following an acquisition, statutory merger, or consolidation. Employers must identify themselves as acquired corporations, surviving corporations, predecessors, or successors and provide details about the transaction, including effective date, other party's EIN, name, and contact information. The schedule includes columns for reporting amounts of social security wages, Medicare wages and tips, federal income tax withheld, and advance earned income credit payments (for tax years before January 1, 2011). Employers must file one Schedule D per transaction and calculate the differences between reported amounts to the IRS and SSA. This document helps the IRS resolve discrepancies without contacting employers directly.
