Last week at the White House, President Barack Obama signed into law the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, H.R. 3630. The next day, the IRS released a revised Form 941 [1], Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, to reflect the extended payroll tax cut.
The act extends the 4.2% rate for the employee portion of Social Security tax through the end of 2012. It also extends certain unemployment benefits and blocks a cut in Medicare payments to doctors. The act also repeals earlier-enacted shifts in the timing of corporate estimated tax payments.
