employee retention credit for qualified compensation paid  
after March 12, 2020, and before July 1, 2021, is different  
from how you figure the credit for qualified compensation  
paid after June 30, 2021, and before January 1, 2022. For  
corrections to qualified compensation paid after June 30,  
2021, you may need to complete line 39 to tell us if you're

Credit for COBRA premium assistance payments is  
limited to periods of coverage beginning on or after  
April 1, 2021, through periods of coverage beginning  
on or before September 30, 2021. Section 9501 of the  
ARP provides for COBRA premium assistance in the form  
of a full reduction in the premium otherwise payable by  
certain individuals and their families who elect COBRA  
continuation coverage due to a loss of coverage as the  
result of a reduction in hours or an involuntary termination  
of employment (assistance eligible individuals). This  
COBRA premium assistance was available for periods of  
coverage beginning on or after April 1, 2021, through  
periods of coverage beginning on or before September  
30, 2021. A premium payee was entitled to the COBRA  
premium assistance credit at the time an eligible individual  
elects coverage. Therefore, other than in rare

figure this credit, you'll need to refigure the amount of this  
credit using Worksheet 1. You'll also use this worksheet to  
figure this credit if you’re claiming it for the first time on  
Form CT-1 X. If you claimed the credit for qualified sick  
and family leave compensation for leave taken after March  
31, 2021, and before October 1, 2021, and you make any  
corrections on Form CT-1 X to amounts used to figure this  
credit, you'll need to refigure the amount of this credit  
using Worksheet 3. You'll also use this worksheet to figure  
this credit if you’re claiming it for the first time on Form  
CT-1 X. If you claimed the employee retention credit for  
compensation paid after March 12, 2020, and before July  
1, 2021, and you make any corrections on Form CT-1 X to  
amounts used to figure this credit, you'll need to refigure  
the amount of this credit using Worksheet 2. You'll also  
use this worksheet to figure this credit if you’re claiming it  
for the first time on Form CT-1 X. If you claimed the  
employee retention credit for compensation paid after  
June 30, 2021, and before January 1, 2022, and you make  
any corrections on Form CT-1 X to amounts used to figure  
this credit, you'll need to refigure the amount of this credit  
using Worksheet 4. You'll also use this worksheet to figure

guidance to employers on the requirements for employee  
consents used by an employer to support a claim for  
refund of overcollected Railroad Retirement Tax Act  
(RRTA) taxes. The revenue procedure clarifies the basic  
requirements for both a request for employee consent and  
for the employee consent, and permits a consent to be  
requested, furnished, and retained in an electronic format  
as an alternative to paper format. The revenue procedure  
also contains guidance concerning when an employer  
may claim a refund of only the employer share of  
overcollected RRTA taxes. The revenue procedure  
requires that any request for consent include an Additional  
Medicare Tax notice indicating that any claim on the  
employee’s behalf won’t include a claim for overpaid Tier 1  
Employee Additional Medicare Tax.  
adjustment, if needed, can be made on Form CT-1 X for  
2022. Employers eligible to claim the COBRA premium  
assistance credit after 2022 must file Form CT-1 X to  
claim the credit.

payments and the credit, see Notice 2021-31, 2021-23

37, 38, 39, 40, and 41;  
You’ll use the adjustment process if you underreported  
RRTA taxes and are making a payment, or if you  
overreported RRTA taxes and will be applying the credit to  
Form CT-1 for the period during which you file Form CT-1  
X. However, see the Caution under Is There a Deadline for  
Filing Form CT-1 X, later, if you’re correcting overreported  
tax amounts during the last 90 days of a period of  
limitations. You’ll use the claim process if you overreported  
RRTA taxes and are requesting a refund or abatement of  
the overreported tax amount. Follow the chart on page 6  
of Form CT-1 X for help in choosing whether to use the  
adjustment process or the claim process. Be sure to  
provide a detailed explanation on line 43 for each  
correction that you show on Form CT-1 X.

Don’t use Form CT-1 X to correct Form 941,  
941-SS, 943, 944, or 945. Instead, use the "X"  
form that corresponds to those forms (Form

make a payment, see the instructions for line 26, later.  
!
CAUTION  
If Form CT-1 X is filed late (after the due date of the  
return for the return period in which you discovered the  
error), you must attach an amended Form 945-A to Form  
CT-1 X. Otherwise, the IRS may assess an “averaged”  
FTD penalty. See “Averaged” FTD penalty in section 11 of  
Pub. 15 for more information about “averaged” FTD  
penalties. The total tax reported on Form 945-A, line M,  
must match the corrected total tax (Form CT-1, line 19  
(line 15 for years before 2020), combined with any  
correction reported on Form CT-1 X, line 21) for the year,  
less any previous abatements and interest-free tax  
assessments.  
Example—You owe tax. On March 8, 2024, you  
discovered that you underreported $1,000 of RRTA  
compensation on your 2023 Form CT-1. File Form CT-1 X  
and pay the amount you owe by February 28, 2025,  
because you discovered the error in 2024, and February  
28, 2025, is the due date for that year. If you file Form  
CT-1 X before February 28, 2025, pay the amount you  
owe by the time you file.

Where Can You Get Help?  
For help filing Form CT-1 X or for questions about RRTA  
taxes and tax corrections, you can:  
See Pub. 15, Employer's Tax Guide; or  
Call the IRS Business and Specialty Tax Line toll free at  
800-829-4933 or 800-829-4059 (TDD/TTY for persons  
who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech  
disability), Monday–Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.  
local time (Alaska and Hawaii follow Pacific time).  
When Should You File Form CT-1 X?  
File Form CT-1 X when you discover an error on a  
previously filed Form CT-1.  
Form CT-1 X can’t be used to correct  
underreported amounts of Tier 1 Employee  
!
However, if your only errors on Form CT-1 relate to  
RRTA tax liabilities reported in Part II of Form CT-1 or on  
Form 945-A, Annual Record of Federal Tax Liability, don’t  
file Form CT-1 X. To correct federal tax liabilities reported  
in Part II of Form CT-1, file Form 945-A, but only enter the  
monthly totals. The daily entries aren’t required. For more  
information about correcting RRTA tax liabilities reported  
on Form 945-A, see the Form 945-A instructions.  
Due dates. The due date for filing Form CT-1 X depends  
on when you discover an error and if you underreported or  
overreported tax. If you underreported tax, see  
Underreported tax, later. For overreported tax amounts,  
you may choose to either make an interest-free  
adjustment or file a claim for refund or abatement. If you’re  
correcting overreported tax amounts, see Overreported  
process, later.  
If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal  
holiday, you may file Form CT-1 X on the next business  
day. The term “legal holiday” means any legal holiday in  
the District of Columbia. See Pub. 15 for the list of legal  
holidays. If we receive Form CT-1 X after the due date, we  
will treat Form CT-1 X as filed on time if the envelope  
containing Form CT-1 X is properly addressed, contains  
sufficient postage, and is postmarked by the U.S. Postal  
Service on or before the due date, or sent by an

Overreported tax—Adjustment process. If you  
overreported tax and choose to apply the credit to Form  
CT-1, file an adjusted return on Form CT-1 X as soon as  
possible after you discover the error but more than 90  
days before the period of limitations on the credit or refund

Example—You want your credit applied to Form  
CT-1. You filed your 2023 Form CT-1 on February 23,  
2024, and payments were timely made. On May 3, 2024,  
you discover that you overreported tax on your 2023 Form  
CT-1. You file Form CT-1 X on June 3, 2024, and check  
the box on line 1 to indicate you want to use the  
adjustment process. The IRS treats your credit as a tax  
deposit made on January 1, 2024. When you file your  
2024 Form CT-1, include the amount from Form CT-1 X,  
line 26, on the “Total railroad retirement tax deposits” line  
of your 2024 Form CT-1.  
Overreported tax—Claim process. If you overreported  
tax on Form CT-1, you may choose to file a claim for  
refund or abatement on Form CT-1 X any time before the  
period of limitations on credit or refund expires on Form  
CT-1. If you also need to correct any underreported tax  
amounts, you must file another Form CT-1 X reporting  
only corrections to the underreported tax amounts. See Is  
IRS-designated private delivery service (PDS) on or  
before the due date. If you don’t follow these guidelines,  
we will consider Form CT-1 X filed when it is actually  
received. For more information about PDSs, see Where  
Underreported tax. If you’re correcting underreported  
tax, you must file Form CT-1 X by the due date of the  
return for the return period in which you discovered the  
error and pay the amount you owe by the time you file.  
Filing and paying on time generally will ensure that your  
correction is interest free and not subject to failure-to-pay

later. You may correct underreported taxes on a previously  
filed Form CT-1 if you file Form CT-1 X within 3 years of  
the date the Form CT-1 was filed. We call each of these  
time frames a “period of limitations.” For purposes of the  
period of limitations, Form CT-1 is considered filed on the  
last day in February of the succeeding year if filed before  
that date.  
Example. You filed your 2021 Form CT-1 on January  
28, 2022, and payments were timely made. The IRS treats  
the return as if it were filed on February 28, 2022. On  
January 15, 2025, you discover that you overreported  
RRTA compensation on that form by $10,000. To correct  
the error, you must file Form CT-1 X by February 28, 2025,  
which is the end of the period of limitations, and use the  
claim process.  
Enter your EIN, RRB number, name, and address in the  
spaces provided. Also enter your name and EIN on the  
top of pages 2, 3, 4, and 5, and on any attachments. If  
your address has changed since you filed your Form  
CT-1, enter the corrected information and the IRS will  
update your address of record. Be sure to write your  
name, EIN, “Form CT-1 X,and the calendar year you’re  
correcting on the top of any attachments.

Enter the calendar year of the Form CT-1 you’re correcting  
in the box at the top of page 1. Enter the same calendar

You must enter the date you discovered errors. You  
discover an error when you have enough information to be  
able to correct it. If you’re reporting several errors that you  
discovered at different times, enter the earliest date you  
discovered an error here. Report any subsequent dates

can’t use the adjustment process. If you are also  
correcting underreported tax amounts, you must file  
another Form CT-1 X to correct the underreported tax  
amounts using the adjustment process and pay any tax  
due.  
Must You Make an Entry on Each Line?  
You must provide all of the information requested at the  
top of page 1 of Form CT-1 X. You must check one box  
(but not both) in Part 1. In Part 2, you must check the box  
on line 3 and any applicable boxes on lines 4 and 5. In  
Part 3, if any line doesn’t apply, leave it blank. Complete  
Parts 4 and 5 as instructed.

How Should You Report Negative Amounts?  
Form CT-1 X uses negative numbers to show reductions  
in tax (credits) and positive numbers to show additional  
tax (amounts you owe).  
Department of the Treasury  
Internal Revenue Service Center  
Cincinnati, OH 45999-0007  
When reporting a negative amount in columns 3 and 4,  
use a minus sign instead of parentheses. For example,  
enter “-10.59” instead of “(10.59).However, if you’re  
completing the return on your computer and your software  
only allows you to use parentheses to report negative  
amounts, you may use them.  
PDSs can’t deliver to P.O. boxes. You must use the U.S.  
Postal Service (USPS) to mail an item to a P.O. box

Overview of the Process  
To correct a previously filed Form CT-1, use Form CT-1 X  
to file either an adjusted railroad retirement tax return or a  
claim for refund or abatement. The adjustment process  
and the claim process are outlined below.  
If you underreported the tax. If you underreported  
the tax on a previously filed Form CT-1, check the box on  
line 1 and pay any additional amount you owe by the  
time you file Form CT-1 X. For details on how to make a  
payment, see the instructions for line 26, later.  
1. Adjusted Railroad Retirement Tax Return  
Check the box on line 1 if you’re correcting underreported  
tax amounts or overreported tax amounts and you would  
like to use the adjustment process to correct the errors.  
If you’re correcting both underreported tax amounts  
and overreported tax amounts on this form, you must  
check this box. If you check this box, any negative amount  
shown on line 26 will be applied as a credit (tax deposit) to  
your Form CT-1 for the year in which you’re filing this form.  
Example—You underreported RRTA taxes. On June  
21, 2024, you discovered an error that results in additional  
tax on your 2023 Form CT-1. File Form CT-1 X by  
February 28, 2025, and pay the amount you owe by the  
time you file. See When Should You File Form CT-1 X,  
earlier. Don’t attach Form CT-1 X to your 2024 Form CT-1.

If you owe tax. Pay the amount shown on line 26 by the  
time you file Form CT-1 X. Generally, you won’t be  
charged interest if you file on time, pay on time, enter the  
date you discovered the error, and explain the correction  
on line 43.  
If you have a credit. You overreported RRTA taxes (you  
have a negative amount on line 26) and want the IRS to

you filed Form CT-1 X. The IRS will apply your credit on  
the first day of the Form CT-1 year during which you filed  
Form CT-1 X. However, the credit you show on Form CT-1

the IRS corrects it during processing or you owe other  
taxes, penalties, or interest. The IRS will notify you if your

You must check the box on line 2 if you have a credit (a  
negative amount on line 26) and the period of limitations  
on credit or refund for Form CT-1 will expire within 90 days  
of the date you file Form CT-1 X. See Is There a Deadline  
The IRS usually processes claims shortly after they are  
filed. The IRS will notify you if your claim is denied,  
accepted as filed, or selected to be examined. See Pub.  
556, Examination of Returns, Appeal Rights, and Claims  
for Refund, for more information.  
If you overreported RRTA tax and/or Tier 1 Employee  
Additional Medicare Tax and checked the box on line 1,  
check the appropriate box on line 4. You may need to  
check more than one box. If you obtained written  
statements from some employees but you couldn’t locate  
employees or secure the statements of the remaining  
employees, check all applicable boxes. Provide a  
summary on line 43 of the amount of the corrections for  
both the employees who provided written statements and  
for those who didn’t.  
Unless the IRS corrects Form CT-1 X during  
processing or you owe other taxes, penalties, or interest,  
the IRS will refund the amount shown on line 26, plus any  
interest that applies.

lines 4 and 5 and go to Part 3.  
If your corrections relate to overreported tax amounts,  
other than corrections related to underreported  
employment tax credits and Tier 1 tax deferrals, you have  
a duty to ensure that your employees' rights to recover  
overpaid Employee RRTA taxes that you withheld are  
protected. The certifications on lines 4 and 5 address the  
requirement to:  
qualified compensation for the employee retention credit  
paid after June 30, 2021, should be kept for at least 6  
years. Copies must be submitted to the IRS if requested.

you file the claim. However, you must repay or reimburse  
your employees and certify that you have done so before  
the IRS can allow the claim.  
5c. Check the box on line 5c to certify that your  
overreported tax is only for the Employer RRTA taxes. This  
applies when affected employees didn’t give you consent  
to file a claim for refund for the Employee RRTA taxes,  
they couldn’t be found, or they didn’t give you a statement  
described on line 5b.

includes overcollected Employee RRTA taxes for each  
affected employee. You’re certifying that you repaid or  
reimbursed to the employees their share of the prior year  
Employee RRTA taxes and you received written  
statements from those employees stating that they didn’t  
and won’t receive a refund or credit for the prior year  
taxes. Don’t send these statements to the IRS. Keep them  
for you records. Generally, all employment tax records

includes overcollected prior year Employee RRTA taxes  
for each affected employee and you haven’t yet repaid or  
reimbursed the Employee RRTA taxes. You’re certifying  
that you received consent from each affected employee to  
file a claim on the employee share of those taxes and you  
received written statements from those employees stating  
that they didn’t and won’t receive a refund or credit for the  
prior year taxes.

11. Tier 1 Employee Additional Medicare  
Tax—Compensation (Other Than Sick Pay)  
Be sure to explain the reasons for this correction on  
line 43.  
You may use Form CT-1 X to correct errors to Tier 1  
Employee Additional Medicare Tax withholding for prior  
years if the amount reported on Form CT-1, line 6, isn’t the  
amount you actually withheld. This type of error is an  
administrative error. The administrative error adjustment  
corrects the amount reported on Form CT-1 to agree with  
the amount actually withheld from employees.  
9. Tier 1 Employee Tax—Compensation  
If you’re correcting the compensation, including tips  
reported, but excluding sick pay, for the Tier 1 Employee  
tax you reported on Form CT-1, line 4, enter the total  
corrected amount in column 1. In column 2, enter the  
amount you originally reported or as previously corrected.  
In column 3, enter the difference between columns 1 and  
2.  
If a prior year error was a nonadministrative error, you  
may correct only the compensation subject to Tier 1  
Employee Additional Medicare Tax withholding that was  
originally reported on Form CT-1, line 6, or previously  
corrected on Form CT-1 X. You can’t correct the tax  
reported on Form CT-1, line 6.  
Prior year administrative error. If you’re correcting the  
compensation subject to Tier 1 Employee Additional  
Medicare Tax withholding that you reported on Form CT-1,

previously corrected. In column 3, enter the difference

Example—Prior year administrative error  
(incorrectly reported amount of Tier 1 Employee  
Additional Medicare Tax actually withheld). Nathan  
Smith's compensation exceeded the $200,000  
line 10 (column 1)  
- line 10 (column 2)  
withholding threshold for Tier 1 Employee Additional  
Medicare Tax in November 2023. The total compensation  
paid to Nathan for 2023 was $230,000. You withheld $270  
($30,000 x 0.009) from Nathan's compensation. However,  
on your 2023 Form CT-1 you mistakenly reported $3,000  
on line 6 (Compensation column), and Tier 1 Employee  
line 10 (column 3)  
If the amount in column 2 is larger  
than the amount in column 1, use a  
minus sign in column 3.

Additional Medicare Tax withheld of $27 on line 6 (Tax  
column). You discover the error on March 15, 2024. This is  
an example of an administrative error that may be  
corrected in a later calendar year because the amount  
actually withheld differs from the amount reported on your  
2023 Form CT-1. Use Form CT-1 X, line 11, to correct the  
error as shown below.  
Combination of prior year administrative and nonad-  
ministrative errors. If you’re reporting both  
administrative errors and nonadministrative errors for the  
same prior year, enter the total corrected amount in  
column 1. In column 2, enter the amount you originally  
reported or as previously corrected. In column 3, enter the  
difference between columns 1 and 2. However, multiply  
only the amount of compensation reported in column 3  
that is related to administrative errors by 0.009 (0.9% tax  
rate). Don’t multiply any compensation reported in column  
3 that was related to nonadministrative errors by 0.009  
(0.9% tax rate). Use line 43 to explain in detail your  
corrections. The explanation must include the reasons for  
the corrections and a breakdown of the amount reported  
in column 3 into the amounts related to administrative  
errors and nonadministrative errors.

withholding threshold for Tier 1 Employee Additional  
Medicare Tax in November 2023. The total compensation  
paid to Nathan for 2023 was $230,000. You withheld $270  
($30,000 x 0.009) from Nathan's compensation. However,  
on your 2023 Form CT-1, you mistakenly reported $3,000  
on line 6 (Compensation column), and Tier 1 Employee  
Additional Medicare Tax withheld of $27 on line 6 (Tax  
column). The difference in compensation subject to Tier 1  
Employee Additional Medicare Tax related to this  
administrative error is $27,000 ($30,000 - $3,000).  
Leah Green's compensation exceeded the $200,000  
withholding threshold for Tier 1 Employee Additional  
Medicare Tax in December 2023. The total compensation  
paid to Leah for 2023 was $220,000. You were required to  
withhold $180 ($20,000 x 0.009) but you withheld nothing  
and didn’t report Leah's $20,000 in compensation subject  
to Tier 1 Employee Additional Medicare Tax withholding  
on line 6 of your 2023 Form CT-1.  
Be sure to explain the reasons for this correction on

Example—Tier 1 Employer sick pay increased. You  
reported $8,000 as Tier 1 Employer sick pay in computing  
the tax on line 8 of your 2023 Form CT-1. In December  
2024, you discover that you overlooked $1,000 in sick pay  
for one of your employees. To correct the error, figure the  
difference on Form CT-1 X as shown.

line 7 of the Form CT-1 for the year that you’re  
correcting and enter the result in column 4. If the amount

Paid Preparer Use Only  
43. Explain Your Corrections  
A paid preparer must sign Form CT-1 X and provide the  
information in the Paid Preparer Use Only section of Part 5  
if the preparer was paid to prepare Form CT-1 X and isn’t  
an employee of the filing entity. Paid preparers must sign  
paper returns with a manual signature. The preparer must  
give the employer the return to file with the IRS and  
include a copy of the return for the employer's records.  
Treasury regulations require you to explain in detail the  
grounds and facts relied upon to support each correction.  
On line 43, describe in detail each correction you entered  
in column 4 on lines 6–20d and 22–25c. Also use line 43  
to describe corrections made on lines 27–40. If you need  
more space, attach additional sheets, but be sure to write  
your name, EIN, “Form CT-1 X,and the calendar year  
you’re correcting on the top of each sheet.  
If you’re a paid preparer, write your Preparer Tax  
Identification Number (PTIN) in the space provided.  
Include your complete address. If you work for a firm, write  
the firm's name and the EIN of the firm. You can apply for  
a PTIN online or by filing Form W-12. For more information  
about applying for a PTIN online, go to IRS.gov/PTIN. You  
can’t use your PTIN in place of the EIN of the tax  
preparation firm.  
You must describe the events that caused the  
underreported or overreported amounts. Explanations  
such as “RRTA compensation was overstated,”  
“administrative/payroll errors were discovered,or “taxes  
were not withheld” are insufficient and may delay the  
processing of your Form CT-1 X because the IRS may  
need to ask for a more complete explanation.  
Generally, you’re not required to complete this section if  
you’re filing the return as a reporting agent and have a  
valid Form 8655 on file with the IRS. However, a reporting  
agent must complete this section if the reporting agent  
offered legal advice, for example, advising the client on  
determining whether its workers are employees or  
independent contractors for federal tax purposes.  
Provide the following information in your explanation of  
each correction.  
Form CT-1 X line number(s) affected.  
Date you discovered the error.  
Difference (amount of the error).  
Cause of the error.  
You may report the information in paragraph form. The  
following paragraph is an example.
