Filling in the 941 form

Review your payroll records and your employee reports for any taxable tips. Then provide the following information:

The total amount of wages you’ve paid
03
The amount of taxes you’ve withheld
Include adjustments for tips and sick pay and any other over or under payments. The amount for Social Security insurance should equal 6.2% for each employee’s salary that makes up to $132,900 for 2019. This amount includes 1.45% of all taxable wages for Medicare tax.
