Unfiled Returns by Year & Form Type
Form 943 is the annual payroll tax return used by agricultural employers to report federal income tax withholding, Social Security, and Medicare taxes on wages paid to farmworkers. Because agricultural employment has unique payroll processes, this form ensures that farm employers comply with federal tax obligations specific to the farming industry. When Form 943 remains unfiled, the Internal Revenue Service can assess financial penalties, interest, and additional payroll taxes. Unfiled returns also increase the risk of enforcement actions, including tax liens or levies. To avoid payroll tax complexities and unexpected tax bills, farm employers should calculate payroll taxes accurately, maintain complete payroll records, and consult tax professionals for guidance. Filing Form 943 on time helps protect against significant penalties while ensuring compliance with both tax laws and payroll tax regulations.
