Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction Act Notice
We ask for the information on Form 941-M to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States. We need it to figure
and collect the right
amount of tax. Subtitle C, Employment Taxes, of the Internal Revenue Code imposes employment taxes on wages, including income
tax withholding. Form
941-M is used to determine the amount of the taxes you owe. Section 6011 requires you to provide the requested information
if the tax is applicable to
you. Section 6109 requires you to provide your employer identification number (EIN). If you fail to provide this information
in a timely manner, you
may be subject to penalties and interest. If you do not file this information, or provide incomplete or fraudulent information,
you may be subject to
penalties and/or criminal prosecution.
You are not required to provide the information requested on a form that is subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act unless
the form displays a valid
OMB control number. Books or records relating to a form or its instructions must be retained as long as their contents may
become material in the
administration of any Internal Revenue law.
Generally, tax returns and return information are confidential, as required by section 6103. However, section 6103 allows
or requires the IRS to
disclose or give the information shown on your tax return to others as described in the Code. For example, we may disclose
your tax information to the
Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation, and to cities, states, and the District of Columbia for use in administering
their tax laws.
We may also disclose this information to other countries under a tax treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce federal
nontax criminal laws, or
to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism.
The time needed to complete and file Form 941-M will vary depending on individual circumstances. The estimated average time
is: Recordkeeping, 14
hrs., 35 min.; Learning about the law or the form, 1 hr., 0 min.; Preparing, copying, assembling, and sending the form to
the IRS, 1 hr., 16 min. If
you have comments concerning the accuracy of these time estimates or suggestions for making Form 941-M simpler, we would be
