Taxes and deadlines
When are payroll taxes due?
Short answer
Payroll tax deposits are due either monthly, by the 15th of the following month, or semiweekly, within a few days of each payday. The IRS assigns your schedule based on past payroll tax totals. Quarterly Form 941 returns are due April 30, July 31, October 31, and January 31.
