Form 943-A (sp): Spanish Agricultural Employer's Record of Federal Tax Liability

Form 943-A (sp) is the IRS Spanish version of Form 943-A, Agricultural Employer's Record of Federal Tax Liability. Its Spanish title is "Registro de la Obligación Tributaria Federal del Empleador Agropecuario," and every label is in Spanish. The English edition is Form 943-A.

The form says to file it with Form 943 or Form 943-X, and it points to www.irs.gov/Form943ASP for instructions and the latest information. It says it is completed by a semiweekly schedule depositor, or by an employer that became one because its accumulated tax liability in a given month was $100,000 or more. It records tax liability, not deposits, because the IRS gets deposit information from electronic funds transfers. The IRS About page says agricultural employers who deposit withheld income tax and Social Security and Medicare taxes on a semiweekly schedule use it to report their tax liability.

This edition is printed as Rev. diciembre de 2024 (Rev. 12-2024). The PDF can be filled out free in the browser on this page and downloaded without an account.

Where it goes, timing and corrections

File with Form 943

The form says "Preséntelo con el Formulario 943 o con el Formulario 943-X" (file it with Form 943 or Form 943-X). The instructions say its due date is the due date of that Form 943.

Liability, not deposits

The form says to enter tax liability, not deposits made, because the IRS gets deposit information from electronic funds transfers.

Averaged FTD penalty

The instructions say that if a semiweekly depositor does not properly complete and file Form 943-A with Form 943, the IRS may propose an "averaged" failure-to-deposit (FTD) penalty.

Amended Form 943-A

After an FTD penalty, the instructions describe an amended Form 943-A with "Amended" written at the top, sent to the address in the penalty notice or filed with Form 943-X.

Instructions

The Spanish form points to www.irs.gov/Form943ASP. The instructions linked on this page are the English Instructions for Form 943-A, revised December 2025.

Who files Form 943-A (sp)?

  • Semiweekly schedule depositors

    The form says it is completed by an employer that is a semiweekly schedule depositor. The instructions point to section 11 of Pub. 15 to determine that status.

  • Employers that reached $100,000

    The instructions say a monthly depositor that accumulates $100,000 or more of tax liability on any day of a month becomes a semiweekly depositor the next day and files Form 943-A for the entire year.

  • Not under $2,500

    The instructions say not to complete Form 943-A if the net tax liability for the year on Form 943, line 13 is less than $2,500.

  • Not for nonfarm workers

    The instructions say taxes on wages paid to nonfarm workers go on Form 941 or Form 944, with Schedule B (Form 941) or Form 945-A instead of Form 943-A.

An agricultural employer completes it and files it with Form 943 or Form 943-X, which go to the IRS. The header asks for the employer's name as shown on Form 943 and the employer identification number (EIN).
