Are fed 941 mailed or efiled

The IRS requires employers to file Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, electronically (e-file) for most employers. However, there are some exceptions and special circumstances where paper filing may be allowed.

E-filing requirements:

• Most employers with 11 or more employees must e-file Form 941.
• Employers with 10 or fewer employees may e-file or paper file, but e-filing is recommended.

Paper filing exceptions:

• Employers with 10 or fewer employees may paper file if they are unable to e-file due to circumstances beyond their control, such as:
  • Lack of access to a computer or internet connection.
  • Technical difficulties or system errors.
  • Unavailability of e-file software or services.
• Employers with a valid reason for not being able to e-file, such as:
  • A natural disaster or other catastrophic event.
  • A temporary or permanent closure of the business.

How to e-file Form 941:

• Use the IRS's Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) to e-file Form 941.
• Use tax preparation software, such as TurboTax or QuickBooks, that offers e-filing capabilities.
• Use a third-party e-file service provider, such as Paychex or ADP, that offers e-filing services.

How to paper file Form 941:

• Complete Form 941 and attach any required supporting documentation, such as W-2s and 1099s.
• Mail the completed form to the IRS at the address listed on the form.

Remember to keep a copy of your filed Form 941 for your records.
