Form 945 is used to report federal income tax withheld from nonpayroll payments. These include all payments that are reported on information returns, such as Forms 1099 (1099-R, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC) and Form W-2G.
All individuals and entities that are obligated to pay federal income taxes on nonpayroll payments should use IRS Form 945. That includes essentially anyone receiving eligible pensions, gambling winnings, dividends, and other types of payments subject to backup withholding.
Form 945 due date is by January 31st, though you may file it by February 10th if you made deposits in full payment of the taxes due that year. If the deadline falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, you can submit the tax form by the next business day.
If Form 945 isn’t submitted on time, you may face failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties, which are 5% and 0.5% of the tax due for each month that it’s not paid, respectively. The maximum amount for both is 25%.
You may also be fined if you don’t make your deposits on time or if they are less than the required amount. In this case, the penalty is calculated by days, and you can find the table on the official IRS website.
You can file Form 945 through the Modernized e-File (MeF) platform or by sending it to one of the designated addresses on the official IRS website. In general, though, you’re encouraged to do the former. If you opt to pay your taxes using a voucher, fill out Form 945-V and send it with your payment.

The difference between Form 941 and Form 945 is in the source of income being reported. Form 941 is filed quarterly, and it reports payroll taxes withheld from employees' regular wages, including Social Security and Medicare. On the other hand, Form 945 is filed annually to report federal income tax withheld from nonpayroll payments, such as pensions, annuities, and gambling winnings.
