What's New

Social security wage base for 2007.   Stop withholding social security tax after an employee reaches the social security wage base for taxable wages. See What's New in Pub. 51 (Circular A), Agricultural Employer's Tax Guide, for the 2007 social security wage base.

Reminders

Correcting Form 943.   If you discover an error on a previously filed Form 943, make the correction using
Form 943 for the year in which you discovered the error and attach Form 941c, Supporting Statement to Correct Information. For example, in October 2006, you discover that you underreported $10,000 in social security and Medicare wages on your 2005 Form 943. Correct the error by showing $1,530 (15.3% × $10,000) on line 8 of your 2006 Form 943 and attaching a completed Form 941c. For details, see Line 8—Adjustment to taxes on page 3.
