Making Payments With Form 943

To avoid a penalty, make your payment with your 2025 Form 943 only if :

• Your total taxes after adjustments and nonrefundable credits for the year (Form 943, line 13) are less than $2,500 and you’re paying in full with a timely filed return, or

• You’re a monthly schedule depositor making a payment in accordance with the Accuracy of Deposits Rule. See section 11 of Pub. 15 for details. In this case, the amount of your payment may be $2,500 or more.

Otherwise, you must make deposits by electronic funds transfer (EFT). An EFT can be made using the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS), IRS Direct Pay, or your IRS business tax account. Don’t use Form 943-V to make federal tax deposits. You can also pay your balance due by EFT instead of sending Form 943-V. If you pay your balance due by EFT, file your return using the Without a payment address under Where Should You File? in the Instructions for Form 943; don’t file Form 943-V. For more information about EFTPS or to enroll in EFTPS, go to www.eftps.gov . For more information about IRS Direct Pay, go to www.irs.gov/DirectPay . For more information about making an EFT through your IRS business tax account, go to www.irs.gov/BusinessAccount . See section 11 of Pub. 15 for deposit instructions.
