Forms 941-SS and 941-PR won’t be around after the fourth quarter of 2023. Employers in U.S. territories who don’t have to use Form 944 will use Form 941 or the new Form 941(SP) if they want it in Spanish.

You can’t use Form 944 if:

- You haven’t received a notification from the IRS.
After completing Form SS-4, the IRS will inform you of the employment tax forms you need to file.

Do not file Form 944 unless the IRS specifically authorizes its use in place of Form 941.
