Tax Due Dates for January 2023
Tax Due Dates for January 2023
During January
All employers – Give your employees their copies of Form W-2 for 2022 by January 31, 2023. If an employee agreed to receive Form W-2 electronically, post it on a website accessible to the employee and notify the employee of the posting.
January 3
Employers – Payment of deferred employer share of social security tax from 2020. If the employer deferred paying the employer share of social security tax or the railroad retirement tax equivalent in 2020, 50% of the deferred amount of the employer share of social security tax was due by January 3, 2022. The remaining 50% of the deferred amount of the employer share of social security tax is due by January 3, 2023. Any payments or deposits made before January 3, 2022, were first applied against the payment due by January 3, 2022, and then applied against the payment due on January 3, 2023.
January 10
Employees – who work for tips. If you received $20 or more in tips during December 2022, report them to your employer. You can use Form 4070, Employee’s Report of Tips to Employer.
January 17
Employers – Social Security, Medicare, and withheld income tax. If the monthly deposit rule applies, deposit the tax for payments in December 2022.
Individuals – Make a payment of your estimated tax for 2022 if you did not pay your income tax for the year through withholding (or did not pay in enough tax that way). Use Form 1040-ES. This is the final installment date for 2022 estimated tax. However, you do not have to make this payment if you file your 2022 return (Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR) and pay all tax due by January 31, 2023.
Employers – Nonpayroll Withholding. If the monthly deposit rule applies, deposit the tax for payments in December 2022.
Farmers and Fisherman – Pay your estimated tax for 2022 using Form 1040-ES. You have until April 18 to file your 2022 income tax return (Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR). If you do not pay your estimated tax by January 17, you must file your 2022 return and pay all tax due by March 1, 2023, to avoid an estimated tax penalty.
January 31
Employers – Give your employees their copies of Form W-2 for 2022. If an employee agreed to receive Form W-2 electronically, have it posted on a website and notify the employee of the posting. File Form W-3, Transmittal of Wage and Tax Statements, along with Copy A of all the Forms W-2 you issued for 2022.
Payers of nonemployee compensation – File Form 1099-NEC for nonemployee compensation paid in 2022.
Individuals – who must make estimated tax payments. If you did not pay your last installment of estimated tax by January 17, you may choose (but are not required) to file your income tax return (Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR) for 2022 by January 31. Filing your return and paying all tax due by January 31, 2023, prevents any penalty for late payment of the last installment. If you cannot file and pay your tax by January 31, file and pay your tax by April 18.

Certain Small Employers – File Form 944 to report Social Security and Medicare taxes and withheld income tax for 2022. Deposit or pay any undeposited tax under the accuracy of deposit rules.
