• Last year filing 943 with no payroll

    From Wilson@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jan 24 14:33:40 2022
    So, I'm working on closing out a small Sch. C business that had no employees
    or income in 2021. I know there is a provision on the 943 to mention that
    this is the businesses last year.
    Wondering if there is a requirement to file a blank W-3 and/or W-2? First
    time that I've done this.
    Thanks.

    If you paid $600 or more in wages, file W-2 and W-3. If you under the
    threshold and were not required to withhold payroll taxes, do not file.

    W-3 is NEVER filed without W-2; it's just the transmission sheet.

    Thanks Adam. It's the reporting that the business has closed that got me.
    But, I was also thinking that with out taxes due, there is almost never a penalty for late filing.
