                     Additional information.
                                Pub. 15 (Circular E), Employer's Tax Guide, explains the rules for withholding, depositing, and reporting federal
                        income tax. Pub. 15-A, Employer's
                        Supplemental Tax Guide, includes information on federal income tax withholding from pensions, annuities, and Indian gaming
                        profits. For information on
                        withholding from gambling winnings, see the Instructions for Forms W-2G and 5754.
                        
                         
                                For a list of employment tax products, visit the IRS website at
                        www.irs.gov/businesses  and select “Employment Taxes ” under the
                        Business Topics  heading.
                        
                         Correcting Form 945.
                                If you discover an error on a previously filed Form 945, make the correction using Form 945 for the year in which
                        you discovered the error and
                        attach Form 941c, Supporting Statement to Correct Information. For example, in October 2006, you discover that you underreported
                        $1,000 ($5,000
                        reported when $6,000 was actually withheld) in withheld federal income tax on your 2005 Form 945. Correct the error by showing
                        $1,000 on line 3 of
                        your 2006 Form 945 and attaching a completed Form 941c. For details, see Line 3—Adjustment to correct administrative errors  on page
                        3.
                        
                         Electronic payment.
                                Now, more than ever before, businesses can enjoy the benefits of paying their federal taxes electronically. Whether
                        you rely on a tax professional
                        or handle your own taxes, IRS offers you convenient programs to make paying taxes easier. Spend less time and worry on taxes
                        and more time running
                        your business. Use Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) to your benefit.
