Frequently Asked Questions on Form 941-X Filing
What is Form 941-X?
IRS Form 941-X (Adjusted Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund) is used by employers to correct errors or claim refunds for the previously filed Form 941. You must file a separate 941-X for each tax period for which there was an error.

When is the deadline to File Form 941-X?
There is no specific deadline for filing Form 941-X. However, a time frame is applicable to report overreported and unreported taxes.
- Overreported taxes: Generally, overreported taxes are filed within 3 years of filing Form 941 or 2 years from the date you paid the tax reported on Form 941, whichever is later.
- Underreported taxes: It must be filed within 3 years of filing the original Form 941.
The IRS calls each of these time frames a “period of limitations.” For the period of limitations, Form 941 for a calendar year is considered filed on April 15 of the succeeding year, even if they were filed before that date.
Example:
Let’s consider that you filed your 2023 fourth quarter Form 941 on January 27, 2024, and payments were made in a timely manner. The IRS treats the return as if it were filed on April 15, 2024. On January 27, 2027, you discovered that you overreported social security and Medicare wages on that form by $250. To correct the error, you must file Form 941-X by April 15, 2027, which is the end of the period of limitations for Form 941, and use the claim process."
- If you are filing Form 941-X to correct overreported taxes in the last 90 days of the period of limitations for overreported taxes, you must use the claim process. You can’t use the adjustment process.
- If you are correcting the underreported taxes, you must file another 941-X to correct them using the adjustment process.
