Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I e-file a Form 940 Amendment?

Yes. You can e-file your amended Form 940 with TaxZerone and correct errors from returns filed within the past 3 years. E-filing makes the process faster, accurate, and efficient.

2. Is there a deadline to file a Form 940 amendment?

The amendment to Form 940 can be filed anytime, but if you are claiming a refund, it generally must be filed within three years of the original filing date or two years from the date the tax was paid, whichever is later.

3. Can I amend multiple tax year of Form 940 in one filing?

No, you cannot amend multiple tax years in a single filing. IRS Form 940 is filed separately for each tax year, and any correction must be made on the specific year’s return that contains the error.

For example:

If you need to correct both 2024 and 2025 FUTA filings, you must submit one amended Form 940 for the 2025 tax year and another amended Form 940 for 2024.

4. Where to download official FUTA amendment forms?

There is no separate “940-X” form, unlike Form 941-X or IRS Form 943-X to amend a FUTA return. You can use the regular Form 940 for that tax year and check the “Amended” box at the top of the form.

5. When do I need to file an amended Form 940?

You should file an amended Form 940 if you discover errors on a previously filed return, such as:
  • Incorrect wages reported
  • Wrong tax liability calculated
  • Incorrect credits claimed
  • Missing deposits or payments
