• IRS penalties of up to 15% may apply if you do not make required 941 deposits on time or if you make deposits for less than the required amount. In addition to any penalties, interest accrues from the due date of the tax on any unpaid balance.

• E-file quarterly and year-end payroll tax forms directly from your Sage 50 software instead of going to another website or your bank.
• Set up text reminders for important deadlines on payroll, payroll forms, and agency payments—avoid missed filings and costly penalties.
• What is E-filing?Instead of printing your federal and state payroll deposit forms, you can choose to file them electronically (e-file).
