What is the one-day ($100,000) accelerated tax deposit rule?
A residual requirement from the pre-1993 deposit system is that employers that accumulate employment taxes of $100,000 or more on any day during a deposit period (either a monthly or semiweekly period) must deposit those taxes by the next banking day. [See What are the methods of depositing employment taxes?
at ¶36,660
for electronic deposit requirements.]
A special rule provides that a monthly depositor ceases to be a monthly depositor on the first day after the employer is subject to the one-day ($100,000) accelerated deposit rule. At that time, the employer immediately becomes a semiweekly employer for the remainder of the calendar year and for the following calendar year.
On Tuesday, January 6, 2009, Employer C accumulates $110,000 in employment taxes with respect to wages paid on that date. C has a deposit obligation of $110,000 that must be satisfied by the next banking day. If C was not subject to the semiweekly rule on January 6, 2009, C becomes subject to that rule as of January 7, 2009.
Employer D is subject to the semiweekly rule for calendar year 2009. On Monday, January 12, 2009, D accumulates $110,000 in employment taxes. D has a $110,000 deposit obligation that must be satisfied by the next banking day. On Tuesday, January 13, D accumulates an additional $30,000 in employment taxes. Although D has a previous $110,000 deposit obligation incurred earlier in the semiweekly period, D has an additional and separate deposit obligation of $30,000 on Tuesday that must be satisfied by the following Friday.
