What does Form 940 pertain to in accounting?

  1. An employer's quarterly tax return

  2. The reporting of employee earnings

  3. An employer's annual unemployment tax return

  4. A bank account manager

The correct answer is: An employer's annual unemployment tax return

Form 940 is specifically used by employers to report their annual Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) taxes. This form calculates the amount owed for unemployment insurance taxes that support state unemployment programs. Employers are required to file Form 940 annually, reporting wages paid to employees that are subject to FUTA tax and calculating the tax liability based on those wages. The key aspect of Form 940 is that it focuses solely on the employer's responsibilities regarding unemployment taxes, distinguishing it from other forms that might deal with employee earnings or quarterly tax returns. Understanding the purpose and use of this form is crucial for employers to ensure compliance with federal tax laws related to unemployment contributions.
