Form 944

What is Form 944?

Form 944 is a tax form used by small businesses to report their annual federal tax liability and payroll taxes. Unlike Form 941, which is used by most employers to report taxes on a quarterly basis, Form 944 is filed once a year. It is specifically designed for small businesses with annual payroll tax liability of $1,000 or less.

What are the types of Form 944?

There is only one type of Form 944, which is the Annual Federal Tax Return for Small Businesses. This form is used to report the amount of federal income tax withheld from employees' wages, as well as the employer's share of Social Security and Medicare taxes. It also includes information on any adjustments or credits that may apply to the business.

For me Im tech savvy, so I can quickly find my way around for the features that I need myself, however for others they may find it tedious to find the feature, maybe I feel that way because I went through google suites, I was also disappointed at the extremely low rating, however most people must complained that it was not free, which is not really a big issue, no software is totally free, they need to make money, so they will surely make some features available as trail, if you need more stuff then pay, 100%, I don't agree with the negative reviews., that's why I stuck around for the software.
