Question

As an employer, do I have to pay the employers tax contributions when I pay the employees?

Answer 1

As an employer, you pay the employees' tax withheld from their paycheck, plus your portion of social security.

When you pay depends if you are a weekly, biweekly, monthly, or quarterly depositor. Some indication of this is on the IRS letters you receive.

If you don't pay the 941 taxes, you may be eligible for the trust fund recovery penalty assessed against your personal taxes.

Answer 2

See IRS publication 15.

Generally you have either a weekly or a monthly deposit schedule.  The frequency depends on the amount you need to deposit.
