Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.
What is the difference between Form 941 and Form 940?
Form 941 is the
What is TWC reporting and does every Texas business need to file it?
TWC stands for the Texas Workforce Commission. If you have employees in Texas, you are generally required to file a quarterly report detailing the wages paid and pay state unemployment taxes on those wages. Even if your tax rate is low, failure to file these quarterly reports can lead to significant penalties and interest from the state.
When are these payroll tax reports due?
Form 941 and TWC reports are due quarterly:
I didn’t pay any wages this quarter. Do I still need to file?
Yes. If you have an active payroll account with the IRS or TWC but paid $0 in wages for a specific quarter, you typically still need to file a “zero return.” If you simply stop filing, the government assumes you are delinquent and may assess penalties based on estimated wages or close your account, causing administrative headaches later.
Can you prepare these forms if I calculate the payroll checks myself?
Yes, provided your records are accurate. We can take the payroll data you have tracked (gross wages, withholdings, dates paid) and prepare the official government forms for you. However, to ensure total accuracy, many clients prefer to have us handle the payroll setup and calculations from the start.
