Step 1: You can get the IRS Form 945 at the IRS office. However, if you have to fill it out electronically, then download a soft copy of the form from the official website of the internal revenue service of the Department of Treasury.
Step 2: Open the IRS Form using Wondershare PDFelement and start filling it out using the program.
Step 3: Write your name as distinguished from trade name, the employer identification number, trade name if any, and the address. Note that the address must be full containing the number, street, city, town, state and zip code. If you are using a foreign address, then write the foreign postal code. Check the box at the right of the form if your address is different from prior return. Also, if you do not have to file the return in future, check the box on Line A and enter the date the final payment is made.
Step 4: On line 1, enter the federal income tax withheld from pensions, annuities, IRS’s, gambling winnings etc and on line 2 enter the backup withholding amount. Line 3 is the total taxes. But note if it is $2,500 or more, then this must equal line 7M below or Form 945-A, line M. However, enter it on line 3.
Step 5: Total deposits from 2015, including overpayment applied from a prior year and overpayment applied from Form 945-X should be entered on line 4 while the balance due should be entered on line 5.But note, if line 3 is more than line 4, enter the difference and see the separate instructions. Then enter overpayment on, line 6 and if line 4 is more than line 3, then enter the difference in the space provided. You will have the option of applying it to the next return or getting a refund. But you will have to check the box to select your option. Note that if line 3 is less than $2,500,you will not need to complete line 7 and for monthly schedule depositors, complete line 7, entries A to M and check the box.
Step 6: Line 7 is the Monthly Summary of Federal Tax Liability. Do not fill this part if you were a semiweekly schedule depositor. Enter the tax liability for each month from January to December representing A to L. Then get the total liabilities for the year by adding lines A through L and enter it on M.
Step 7: You will have to decide if you want to allow another person to discuss the return with the Internal Revenue Service. You can see further instructions. But if yes, check the yes box and complete the Third Party Designee section. Here all you need to do is to write the designee name, the designee phone number and the personal identification number. Once this is done, sign your signature in the “Sign Here” part and write your name and title as well as the date.
Step 8: The last is the Paid Preparer information. However, note that you will only fill this part if you are using a paid preparer. Then if yes, write the preparer’s name, signature, date, firm’s name and address, the firm’s employer identification number and phone number.
