Methods to Pay Form 941 

You can pay your Form 941 balance using: 

• Electronic Funds Withdrawal (EFW) when you e-file your return with a tax liability of less than $2500. 
• Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) for direct bank payments. 
• Credit or debit card through an IRS-authorized payment processor. 
• Check or money order by mail (only if eligible). 

Note: The payment is generally due by the Form 941 filing deadline for the applicable quarter. If you owe employment taxes, paying on time helps avoid IRS interest and penalties. 

How to Pay Form 941 by Mail? 

If you’re eligible to pay by check or money order, follow these steps: 

1. Complete Form 941-V 

Complete Form 941-V (Payment Voucher), which is included in Form 941. 

2. Prepare Your Check or Money Order 

Make your check or money order payable to “United States Treasury” for the exact amount due. 

Include the below information: 

• Your Employer Identification Number (EIN) 
• Form 941 
• The applicable tax period (for example, Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4) 
• Your business name and complete address. 

3. Mail Your Return and Payment 

Mail the following together: 

• Completed Form 941 
• Completed Form 941-V 
• Your check or money order 

Do not staple or paper clip the payment or voucher to your tax return. 

Mail everything to the correct IRS mailing address for Form 941 based on your business location.
