Form 941
Form 1099 / W-2
Form 2290
Form 941-X uses negative numbers to show reductions in tax (credits) and positive numbers to show additional tax (amounts you owe).
When reporting a negative amount in columns 3 and 4, use a minus sign instead of parentheses. For example, enter “-12.99” instead of “(12.99).” ExpressEfile handles the conversion of negative signs into parentheses.
