SHRM & HRCI Approved Webinar | CEUs = 1.5 Credit Hours
Overview:
The 941 is a common form known to any employer. However it is anything but simple. With the Q3 2026 Form 941 due October 31, 2026, employers and payroll professionals need to make sure their payroll records, withholding calculations, tax deposits and quarterly reporting all reconcile correctly. The March 2026 Form 941 introduces important 2026 updates, while the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) creates new payroll withholding and reporting considerations involving qualified tips and overtime compensation. The bigger the business you are, the more complex your compensation structure, and whether or not you use a 3rd-party, you should know about the details of this form. Its difficulty makes it easy to make mistakes. Mistakes are easily caught by the IRS.
