Properly complete the 941 and Schedule B.

Refundable credits are new to payroll, so you need to be able to spot them before you can use them.
Make interest-free adjustments.
Mistakes happen, but they don’t need to cost a penny—if you do things right.
Avoid surprise tax penalties later by learning the new steps to 941 compliance now.

In this webinar recording, you’ll get the training and tools to correctly complete the new Form 941, the accompanying worksheets and Schedule B. Discover the most common mistakes that employers now make with Schedule B and how to correct them.
