Form 941-X must be used for all corrections to a previously filed Form 941, Employer’s QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return, beginning with errors discovered in calendar year 2009. Do not attach Form 941-X to Form 941. Form 941-X must be filed separately.  \nAlso use Form 941-X instead of Form 843, Claim for Refund or Request for Abatement, when you request arefund or abatement of overpaid employment taxes. However, continue to use Form 843 when asking for arefund or abatement of assessed interest or penalties.  \nForm 941-X is used to make adjustments to Form 941-SS, Employer’s QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return. Unless otherwise noted, references to Form 941 and the Instructions for Form 941 also apply to Form 941-SS and the Instructions for Form 941-SS.  \nThe lines for adjusting prior quarter errors (lines 7d through 7g) have been deleted from Form 941, beginning with the first calendar quarter of 2009. Continue to report current quarter adjustments for fractions of cents, third-party sick pay, tips, and group-term life insurance on Form 941, using lines 7a through 7c.  \nBackground  \nNew Treasury regulations have changed the process for adjusting employment taxes reported on Form 941 and for filing a claim for refund of employment taxes. You will use the revised interest-free adjustment process if you underreported employment taxes and you are making a payment, or if you overreported employment taxes and you will be applying the overpayment (credit) to Form 941 for the quarter during which you file Form 941-X. However, see the Caution on page 2. You will use the revised claim process if you overreported employment taxes and you are requesting a refund or abatement of the credit. We use the terms correct and corrections on Form 941-X and these instructions to include interest-free adjustments under sections 6205 and 6413.  \nWe believe that you will find Form 941-X easier to complete and its instructions easier to understand. Also, the new form will enable the IRS to process corrections to employment taxes more accurately and efficiently. Please read both the form and these instructions carefully to become familiar with the changes.  \nWhere can you get telephone help? You can call the IRS Business and Specialty Tax Line toll free at 1-800-829-4933, Monday through [Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local](Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. local) time (Alaska and Hawaii follow Pacific time) for answers to your questions about completing Form 941-X, employment tax questions, or obtaining an employer identification number.  \nNew Process For Correcting Employment Taxes  \nAfter December 31, 2008, when you discover an error on a previously filed Form 941, you must:  \n• Correct that error using Form 941-X.  \n• File a separate Form 941-X for each Form 941 that you are correcting, and  \n• File Form 941-X separately from your current Form 941. Overreported tax. If you have overreported your tax, you may choose to:  \n• Use the adjustment process. Check the box on line 1 to apply the amount from line 17 of Form 941-X to line 11 of Form 941 for the quarter during which you file Form 941-X, or  \n• Use the claim for refund process. Check the box on line 2 to file a claim on Form 941-X, asking for a refund of the amount shown on line 17.  \nTo ensure that the IRS has enough time to process a  \n  TIP  credit for an overreporting adjustment in the quarter  \nduring which you file Form 941-X, you are encouraged to file Form 941-X correcting the overreported amount in the first two months ofa quarter.
