Payroll Tax Filing FAQs for Contractors

Contractors file the same core payroll taxes as any employer:

Federal income tax withholding
Social Security and Medicare (often called FICA)
Federal unemployment tax (FUTA)

Most states add their own income tax withholding and unemployment insurance. Some cities and counties have local taxes too.

The federal taxes are reported quarterly on Form 941, with FUTA filed once a year on Form 940.

Payroll taxes run on a different schedule than income taxes.

Instead of one big deadline in April, you’ll file Form 941 every quarter, by the last day of the month after the quarter ends:

April 30 for January through March
July 31 for April through June
October 31 for July through September
January 31 for October through December

January 31 is also the deadline for your annual Form 940 and for sending W-2s to employees.

Tax deposits come around more often. Most employers deposit either monthly or semiweekly, depending on how much payroll tax they reported during an IRS-defined lookback period:

Monthly: If you reported $50,000 or less, deposit each month’s taxes by the 15th of the following month.
Semiweekly: Despite the name, semiweekly doesn’t mean you deposit twice a week. Each deposit is due a few days after payday, so how often you deposit depends on how often you run payroll.
- If you reported more than $50,000, your deposits follow your paydays:
  - Taxes for Wednesday, Thursday or Friday paydays are due the following Wednesday
  - Taxes for Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday paydays are due the following Friday
