Form 940 is an annual return filed by employers to report Federal Unemployment Tax. Form 940 covers the period of January 1 through December 31 and must be filed on or before January 31 following the close of the calendar year.
The 940 Certification is the summary of Colorado taxable wages reported by the employer, and the total amount of Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) eligible state tax paid into the Colorado UI Fund for a designated year.
