You constantly make  \ndecisions that affect your success . Each decision creates new opportunities and  \nprovides a new learning experience.  \nYour employees are one of your business’ most valuable resources . In paying their  \nsalary, you have the responsibility of withholding taxes from their paychecks. This  \nwithholding includes your employees’ income tax and their share of FICA (social  \nsecurity and Medicare tax) . You must periodically send this money to the United  \nStates Treasury on their behalf. This is called a “federal tax deposit.”  \nYou may be wondering why these federal tax deposits are so important. As you just  \nread, the deposits are actually part of your employees’ wages. Equally important,  \nthe law requires that these deposits be made periodically. You could be charged  \nlarge penalties if you don’t make them when they are due.  \nThis course was developed to help you better understand the rules for making  \nthese employment tax deposits so you can avoid these penalties. In fact, you could  \nbe charged additional penalties if you don’t file your employment tax returns on  \ntime and pay the money you owe .  \nThrough this course, we intend to make this process easier to understand. We can’t  \nguarantee you’ll never have problems again with tax deposits; that’s up to you.  \nWe will provide you with some tips that will save you time and money—resources  \nthat you can then devote to making your business even more successful.  \nGood luck with your business!  \n2  \ntaBle of Contents   \nIntroduction Why You Are Here .............................................................................. 4  \nChapter One Trust Fund Taxes Are Important ......................................................... 5  \nPractical Exercise 1  \nChapter Two Federal Tax Deposit Rules For Form 941 And 944 Taxes .................... 7  \nWho Must Make Form 941 Deposits?  \nWho Must Make Form 944 Deposits?  \nWhat Taxes Must be Deposited?  \nWhen Should You Make Form 941 Tax Deposits?  \nWhen Should You Make Form 944 Tax Deposits?  \nWhat’s Your Deposit Schedule?
