In the state of California, employers are required to file both a Quarterly Contribution Return and Report of Wages (DE 9), and a Quarterly Contribution Return and Report of Wages (Continuation) (DE 9C) each quarter of the calendar year. Employers are also required to file a Quarterly Federal Tax Return (941) each quarter of the calendar year.
The deadline to file forms DE 9, DE 9C, and 941 for the second quarter of 2015 is July 31st. Failure to file and/or accurately report all wages and contributions by this date could result in fines and penalties.
It might be tempting to put off paying your payroll taxes and using those funds to pay other debts, but beware! Borrowing from Uncle Sam could cost you more in the end. This is how some businesses get themselves in trouble.
Don’t miss the July 31, 2015 deadline!
