When do I file Form 940 for my foreign-owned LLC and what information do I need?
I just finished my first year of having employees in my foreign-owned LLC. I've been filing Form 941 quarterly but now I'm told I also need to file Form 940 for FUTA. How is this different from 941? What exactly do I report on Form 940 and when is it due? My LLC is in a state that I've heard might have credit reduction issues. How do I figure that out?
