The most common form is Form 941, which is used to report wages, tips, and other compensation paid to employees, as well as the employer's share of Medicare and Social Security taxes. Other forms may be required depending on your specific circumstances.

Remember to include both the employer's share and the employee's share of Medicare and Social Security taxes.
