Guidelines for federal Form 941 tax deposits and state payroll withholding remittance
Your company's deposit schedule for the 2009 calendar year is determined by the total taxes reported on line 11 of Forms 941 in the four-quarter "lookback" period from July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008.

If the total taxes reported are $50,000 or less, you are classified as a monthly depositor. Federal and state deposits are due by the 15th of the month.

If the total taxes reported are more than $50,000, you are classified as a semi-weekly depositor. Federal and state deposits are due as follows:
If the payday falls on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, deposits are due by the following Wednesday.
If the payday falls on a Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, deposits are due by the following Friday.

Note: If you accumulate a tax liability of $100,000 or more on any day during a deposit period, you must deposit the tax by the next banking day, whether you are a monthly or semi-weekly depositor.
