Employers who have failed to file one or more quarterly employment tax returns (Form 941) on time, or who wish to request a refund or adjustment of employment tax deposits, may need to file a Form SS-8.
Form SS-8 is used by employers to report and pay certain employment taxes that were not reported in a timely manner on their quarterly Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return. It can also be used by employers to request a refund or adjustment of employment tax deposits made earlier.
Form SS-8 requires the employer's name, EIN, and contact information. It also requires detailed information about the wages and taxes reported on each line of the missing or corrected quarterly return(s), as well as any applicable penalties.
Form SS-8 must be filed by the last day of the month following the close of the tax year covered in the corrected or delinquent Form 941(s). For example, if an employer is filing a corrected Form 941 for the third quarter of 2023, they would need to file Form SS-8 by January 31, 2024.
Employers may face penalties for failing to file employment tax returns on time or for not paying the required taxes when due. The penalty for late filing is generally 5% per month, up to a maximum of 25%, while the penalty for late payment is generally 1% per month, up to a maximum of 15%.
No, Form SS-8 must be filed by mailing a paper copy to the IRS address specified on the form. Employers may continue to use electronic methods for filing and paying other employment tax forms.
Form SS-8 (sp) is one of Tax forms that are documents used to report information related to taxes to the relevant tax authority. There are various types of tax forms, including federal, state, and local tax forms, which can vary depending on the taxpayer's circumstances and location.
