Short Statement: The Form 941 family of forms is used by employers to report payments made to employees that are subject to income and social security/Medicare taxes and the amounts of these taxes. The Service needs Schedule R (Form 941) to indentify the separate employers, their EIN's, and their allocated tax payments reported on an aggregate Form 941, Employer' QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return and ensure income tax withholding and reporting compliance. The respondent is the Agent who files the aggregate Form 941 on behalf of the employers that have completed Form 2678 to provide the Agent with such filing authorization. The creation of this new form increases the estimated number of responses by 6,500 and the estimated burden by 84,760 hours.
