Popular For Tax Pros. The terms "monthly schedule depositor" and "semiweekly schedule depositor" do not refer to how often employees are paid. The terms only identify which set of rules a business must follow when depositing Form or tax liabilities. The IRS will notify you early in the year if you qualify. In order to gain an understanding of both the monthly and semiweekly deposit schedules, each will be briefly discussed.
Under the monthly deposit schedule, taxes on wages paid during a calendar month must be deposited by the 15th day of the following month. If the 15th day of the month falls on a day that is not a banking day, the deposit will be considered timely made if it is deposited by the close of the next banking day. Federal and state bank holidays, Saturdays and Sundays are treated as nonbanking days. An example would be if the payroll tax deposit was due on Sunday. Sunday is a nonbanking day, so the deposit would be considered timely made if posted on Monday by the bank's cutoff.
Cutoff times vary by bank; therefore, be sure to verify the cutoff time of the bank to be used.
The deposit rules are based on the day wages are actually paid, not when the employment tax liabilities are accrued. A business' deposit schedule for a calendar year is determined annually from the total taxes reported on Form or on Form in a four quarter lookback period beginning on July 1 of the prior year and ending on June 30 of the current year.

The IRS will track the number of coupons used and will automatically furnish additional coupons. The FTD coupons are used to deposit various types of federal taxes. The coupons have entry boxes for filling in the amount of the deposit, the type of tax and the tax period for which the deposit is being made.
It is very important to clearly and correctly mark the type of tax and tax period on each FTD coupon. The information on the coupon is used by the IRS to apply deposits to your account.
The check or money order issued in payment of taxes should be made payable to the financial institution at which the deposit is being made. Income taxes withheld, Social Security and Medicare taxes are reported quarterly on Form ; therefore, any deposits made for these taxes must be entered as a deposit on the FTD coupon, along with noting on the coupon the quarter to which the deposit is to be applied. Form taxes follow calendar quarters regardless of a business' fiscal year.
