Form 943 is the IRS's annual employment tax return for agricultural employers. The IRS says to file it if you paid wages to one or more farmworkers subject to the taxes it lists, and to keep filing each year until a final return. Upload last year's Form 943 and this year's blank to reuse your employer details, then review.
Tested with the irs.gov edition dated 2025
irs.gov says "File this form if you paid wages to one or more farmworkers and the wages were subject to federal income, Social Security, and Medicare taxes." The form is the Employer's Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees. This is a smaller audience than Form 941 or Form 940. RepeatForm does not work out any amount on it.
The instructions say to file Form 943 if you paid wages to one or more farmworkers and the wages were subject to federal income tax withholding or social security and Medicare taxes under the tests they describe: cash wages of "$150 or more in a year" to an employee for farmwork, or total wages to all farmworkers of "$2,500 or more". They add: "After you file your first Form 943, you must file a return for each year, even if you have no taxes to report, until you file a final return." For nonfarm workers, the instructions say taxes are reported on Form 941 or Form 944. Each has its own page: see the links below. RepeatForm does not apply the tests for you.
The instructions say "If your total taxes after adjustments and nonrefundable credits (line 13) are less than $2,500 for the year, you can pay the tax due with your return if you file on time" and that if line 13 is $2,500 or more, "You must make deposits by EFT throughout the year in accordance with your deposit schedule", monthly or semiweekly. The instructions explain the schedules and what to do next. RepeatForm does not work out deposits or what you owe.
The Form 943 instructions say "You're encouraged to file Form 943 electronically" and point to IRS.gov/EmploymentEfile. If you file a paper return, where you file depends on whether you include a payment, and the instructions have the address table for your location. RepeatForm does not file anything: it prepares the PDF; e-filing is done in your own filing or payroll software or through a tax professional.
Upload a Form 943 you completed and this year's blank; RepeatForm carries the matching answers across; you review them, then preview the PDF before you export. Bookkeepers can do the same for each client's own prior-year copy.
The IRS publishes a Form 943 for each year. Carrying a prior year's copy into the new one works for many answers, but some fields are renamed or moved and match only partly, so check every line on the new year's form in Review before you export.
Upload the two versions, check what matched, then inspect the finished PDF before paying.

According to the IRS, "File this form if you paid wages to one or more farmworkers and the wages were subject to federal income, Social Security, and Medicare taxes." It is the Employer's Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees. RepeatForm prepares the PDF; it does not file for you.
The instructions say to file if you paid wages to one or more farmworkers and the wages were subject to federal income tax withholding or social security and Medicare taxes under their tests, and that after your first Form 943 "you must file a return for each year, even if you have no taxes to report, until you file a final return." They also describe the final return and the aggregate return filers. RepeatForm does not decide for you.
The instructions say that if line 13 is less than $2,500 for the year, you can pay with your return if you file on time, and if it is $2,500 or more, "You must make deposits by EFT throughout the year in accordance with your deposit schedule", monthly or semiweekly. Read the instructions for the schedules. RepeatForm does not work out deposits.
The 2025 instructions say "For 2025, file Form 943 by February 2, 2026. However, if you made deposits on time in full payment of the taxes due for the year, you may file the return by February 10, 2026." Check the instructions for the year you are filing.
The instructions say "You're encouraged to file Form 943 electronically" and point to IRS.gov/EmploymentEfile. For a paper return, where you mail it depends on whether you include a payment, and the address table for your location is in the instructions. RepeatForm does not file for you.
You can reuse the employer details that stay the same, such as EIN, name and address. The wages, tax and deposits are different each year, so enter them again and check every line on the new year's form in Review. Sign and date it by hand.
