"This quarter, companies have an extra day to file Form 941 and pay business taxes because the due date, July 31, falls on a Sunday this year," said Alex P. Hart, President and CEO of Tier Technologies, Inc., the parent company of Official Payments. "Businesses have the option of paying any taxes due using a credit or debit card or other payment option at www.OfficialPayments.com. By using a credit card, businesses can effectively manage cash flow and earn rewards or points their card program may offer. In fact, Official Payments offers more payment options than any other electronic payment provider."
Form 941 is used to report wages, tips, and other compensation during the quarter, as well as federal income tax withholdings, Social Security taxes and Medicare taxes. After July 31, the next date for filing and paying business taxes will be October 31.
In addition, certain states may have tax forms and payments due on August 1. Employers should check with their own state tax department for more information.
