Federal income tax withholding errors
Feb 14, 2022
While mistakes can happen, you must correct any mistakes by filing a corrected form. Use Form 941-X to correct any errors on your quarterly forms and check which quarter you are correcting. Form 944 has a correction form as well — Form 944-X.
If you withhold and deposit too much tax, submit the correction form to the IRS for a refund. Should you discover an error where you did not calculate or deposit enough tax, use Form 941-X (or Form 944-X) to fix the mistake and submit a payment to the IRS for the owed amount.
