Quarterly 941 Deadlines

Quarterly deadlines for paper and e-filing are the same for 941 Schedule B.

If a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, you can file on the next business day. If you deposited all taxes for the quarter on time and in full, you have until the 10th day of the second month after the quarter ends. For the first quarter, that’s May 10.

These are return filing dates. Payroll tax deposits follow their own schedule, and semiweekly schedule depositors must file Schedule B with Form 941 to report their tax liability.

For the full filing and deposit rules, see the IRS Instructions for Form 941.

Filing Deadline FAQs

Do all 1099 forms have the same deadline?
No. Deadlines vary by form type and filing method. Select the specific 1099 form in our calculator and review the federal, state and recipient dates it shows.

Are recipient deadlines the same as federal filing deadlines?
Not always. Sending recipient copies and filing with a federal agency are separate requirements, so plan around both dates.

Do I need to check each state separately?
Yes. State filing requirements and deadlines vary. If you file in more than one state, check each state and form combination that applies to you.

Does preparing forms in Yearli submit them for filing?
No. Prepare and review your forms, then complete checkout to submit them for filing.
