Instructions for Schedule R  
(Form 941)  
(Rev. March 2024)  
Allocation Schedule for Aggregate Form 941 Filers  
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code  
unless otherwise noted.  
7705(e)(2); (c) a client who enters into a service  
agreement described under Regulations section  
31.3504-2(b)(2) with a certified professional employer  
organization (CPEO); (d) a client who enters into a service  
agreement described under Regulations section  
31.3504-2(b)(2) with a non-certified professional employer  
organization (PEO); or (e) a third party paying qualified  
sick leave wages as an agent for the employer under  
Regulations section 32.1(e)(3). If you have more than five  
clients, complete as many Continuation Sheets as  
necessary. Attach Schedule R, including any Continuation  
Sheets, to your aggregate Form 941.  
Future Developments  
For the latest information about developments related to  
Schedule R and its instructions, such as legislation  
enacted after they were published, go to IRS.gov/  
What’s New  
The format of the March 2024 revision of Schedule R has  
reverted back to the format previously used on the March  
2022 revision of Schedule R, in which columns m, s, t, and  
v were "Reserved for future use." The calendar year field  
on Schedule R is no longer prepopulated. In most cases,  
the March 2024 revision of Schedule R should only be  
used for quarters beginning after December 31, 2023.  
However, in some rare instances (for example, you have a  
client that is eligible to take the COBRA premium  
assistance credit after the first quarter of 2022), you may  
need to file the March 2024 revision of Schedule R with a  
Form 941-X, Adjusted Employer's QUARTERLY Federal  
Tax Return or Claim for Refund, for a quarter that began  
before January 1, 2024.  
Who Must File?  
Agents approved by the IRS under section 3504 and  
CPEOs must complete Schedule R each time they file an  
aggregate Form 941. To request approval to act as an  
agent for an employer under section 3504, the agent must  
file Form 2678 with the IRS. Form 2678 must be previously  
filed and approved by the IRS before filing Schedule R. To  
become a CPEO, the organization must apply through the  
IRS Online Registration System. Go to the IRS website at  
IRS.gov/CPEO for more information. Other third-party  
payers that file aggregate Forms 941, such as  
non-certified PEOs, must complete and file Schedule R if  
they have clients that are claiming the qualified small  
business payroll tax credit for increasing research  
activities. Third-party payers other than agents approved  
by the IRS under section 3504 and CPEOs need to  
include client-by-client amounts only for those clients  
claiming the qualified small business payroll tax credit for  
increasing research activities. Amounts for clients not  
claiming the qualified small business payroll tax credit for  
increasing research activities are included on Schedule R,  
page 1, line 8. Schedule R must also be completed if any  
clients are claiming credits on Form 941-X.  
The March 2024 revision of Schedule R includes a new  
checkbox to tell us if the Schedule R is attached to Form  
941 or 941-X. Columns f, l, n, o, p, u, w, x, and y are now  
used only when Schedule R is attached to Form 941-X.  
At this time, the IRS expects the March 2024 revision of  
Schedule R and these instructions to also be used for the  
second, third, and fourth quarters of 2024, and possibly  
longer. If changes in law require additional changes to  
Schedule R, the form and/or these instructions may be  
revised. You may need a prior revision of Schedule R  
when filing a Form 941-X (for example, to claim or correct  
the employee retention credit). Prior revisions of  
Schedule R are available at IRS.gov/Form941 (select the  
link for "All Form 941 Revisions" under "Other Items You  
May Find Useful"). Don't use an earlier revision of  
Schedule R for any calendar quarter beginning after  
December 31, 2023.  
When Must You File?  
If you’re an aggregate Form 941 filer, file Schedule R with  
your aggregate Form 941 every quarter. Agents and  
non-certified PEOs may file Form 941 and Schedule R  
electronically or by paper submission. CPEOs must  
generally file Form 941 and Schedule R electronically. For  
more information about a CPEO's requirement to file  
electronically, see Rev. Proc. 2023-18, 2023-13 I.R.B.
