The following are the deposit requirements for withheld federal income and FICA/Medicare taxes 
and employer's share of FICA/Medicare taxes:

1. If total taxes for the quarter are less than $1,000, the taxes may be paid to the IRS with Form 941, or you
    may deposit them at your bank by the end of the month following the quarter.

2. Most employers will be a "monthly depositor" or "semi-weekly depositor". Your status will be determined
    annually and the IRS will notify employers before each calendar year what their status will be.

    A monthly depositor must deposit withholdings on or before the 15th day of the month following the month
    of withholding. Generally, a new employer will be a monthly depositor until it meets the semi-weekly deposit 
    rules.

    A "semi-weekly depositor" must deposit taxes on a Wednesday or a Friday. For paydays on Wednesday, 
    Thursday or Friday, the deposit will be due by the Wednesday following payday. For all other paydays, the 
    deposit will be due by the Friday following payday. If you always deposit your taxes within three banking 
    days after payday, you will always meet the "semi-weekly" rule.

* The above dates generally refer to Ohio employers and taxpayer.
