There’s no need to go through all your records. We have simplified the process for you to see what you have already paid and what you may still owe, helping you to make timely payments to the IRS.
What is the CARES Act?
Under the CARES Act, employers had the option to defer paying the employer portion of social security payroll tax for the period from March 27, 2020, through December 31, 2020. This was a temporary delay, not a waiver of the tax. A minimum of 50% of the deferred tax was required to be paid by December 31, 2021, and the rest was due by December 31, 2022. The program did not apply to taxes on wages paid on or after January 1, 2021.
Deadline for Deferred Tax Payments
Employers were responsible for paying their deferred taxes directly to the IRS by these deadlines:
- 50% by December 31, 2021
- Remainder by December 31, 2022
Â
Please note: Because these taxes were never deducted, Beyond was unable to pay any deferred taxes on your behalf.
