The Form 943-A, officially known as the Agricultural Employer’s Record of Federal Tax Liability, serves a critical role for agricultural employers who are mandated to record their federal tax liabilities on a day-to-day basis. This requirement applies especially to those who deposit on a semiweekly schedule or whose tax liability in any month reaches or exceeds $100,000. To ensure compliance and accurate processing of annual tax returns for agricultural employees, the proper completion and timely submission of Form 943-A, alongside Form 943, is essential.

Form 943 A PDF Details

Navigating the intricacies of federal tax obligations, agricultural employers find a crucial ally in Form 943-A, a detailed ledger capturing the essence of their daily federal tax liabilities. With its inception aimed at streamlining the reporting process for agricultural employers, this form serves as a complementary document to Form 943, facilitating an accurate depiction of tax liabilities without mirroring the deposited amounts. Its utilization is specifically carved out for semiweekly schedule depositors and those encountering a surge in tax liability to or beyond $100,000 during any month, triggering instant reclassification to a semiweekly depositor status. The form diligently records not just the withheld income tax but also comprises both employee and employer social security and Medicare taxes, offset by any advance earned income credit payments. Importantly, it segregates farm worker wage taxes from nonfarm worker wage taxes—the latter falling under the purview of Form 941. The structured layout of Form 943-A meticulously maps out liabilities across the year, with designated sections for each month, ensuring employers can track and report their liabilities with precision. This nuanced approach aids in preventing discrepancies and fostering compliance, thereby mitigating potential hiccups in the processing of the annual agricultural tax return. Additionally, it caters to adjustments for rectifying errors in previous returns, offering a mechanism to correct over or underreported liabilities, thus embodying a versatile tool in the agricultural employer’s tax reporting arsenal.

Specific Instructions

The total tax liability for the year (line M) must equal net taxes on Form 943 (line 11).

Each numbered entry space corresponds to dates during the year. Report your tax liabilities on this form corresponding to the dates of each wage payment, not to when payroll liabilities are accrued. Enter the monthly totals on lines A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, and L. Enter the total for the year on line M .

Example. Employer F is a semiweekly schedule depositor. Employer F accumulated a tax liability of $3,000 on its January 11 and January 25 paydays. In the January column, Employer F must enter $3,000 on lines 11 and 25.

See Deposit Requirements in Circular A, Agricultural Employer’s Tax Guide (Pub. 51), for more information.

Adjustments. Semiweekly schedule depositors must take into account on Form 943-A adjustments to correct prior year returns (reported on line 8 of Form 943). If the adjustment was made to correct an underreported liability in a prior year, report the adjustment on the entry space corresponding to the date the error was discovered.

If the adjustment corrects an overreported liability in a prior year, use the adjustment amount as a credit to offset current year tax liabilites until it is used up. For example, Employer A discovered on January 12 that it overreported social security tax on a prior year Form 943 by $10,000. It paid wages on January 5, 12, 19, and 26, and had a $5,000 tax liability for each of those pay dates. In column A (for January), Employer A must report $5,000 on line 5. The adjustment for the $10,000 overreported tax liability is used to offset the January 12 and 19 tax liabilities, so these two $5,000 tax liabilities are not reported on Form 943-A and are not deposited. The $5,000 tax liability for January 26 must be reported on line 26 of column A. See Circular A for more information on reporting adjustments to correct errors on prior year returns.
