Payroll Tax Deposit Schedule

The IRS assigns you a payroll tax deposit schedule — monthly or semi-weekly — based on your total payroll tax liability during a lookback period. Getting this wrong triggers penalties of 2–15%. Enter your lookback period total to find your schedule and exact deposit deadlines.
