This is the Federal Income Tax and FICA (Social Security) held in trust and to be paid by the employer, to the IRS. If this amount is not paid to the IRS, they can hold you personally responsible and therefore assess you with a CTFP (Civil Trust Fund Penalty). The IRS has the right to hold any persons of authority (in the company) accountable for the liability.
IRS form 941 is used to file your employers quarterly federal tax return for employment taxes. Most companies make monthly deposits to the IRS for their employment taxes. The 941 reconciles all the deposits made to the IRS during the quarter.
The amount paid includes not only the amount withheld for taxes from your employees, but also the matching FICA the company is required to pay to the IRS.
The IRS has a web site that will help you pay your deposits. It is EFTPS.gov. It allows you to make your deposits through bank drafts.
It is also a great idea to use a payroll tax company that can handle all of your tax filing requirements. This will ensure that the deposits and filings are correct and made on time and will keep you out of trouble with the IRS.

What is the tax withholding percentage deducted depending on the amount of gross pay earned?
All tax the is withheld from your paycheck is based on your gross income for the pay period. The percentage for FICA for the employee is 6.2% and for Medicare tax is 1.45% of your gross income. Now the State and Federal Income tax withheld is based on your gross income but is not just a percentage. There are tax tables that give the amount to be withheld and it takes into account the filing status of the employee and the number of exemptions he/she claims on their W-4 form. The employee can also have additional flat amounts withheld in addition to the tax table amounts. The taxpayer can also claim exempt from Federal and/or State withholding if they did not owe any tax in the previous year and do not expect to have any tax due in the current year. The employee is completely responsible for these actions. The employer matches the FICA and Medicare Taxes that are withheld from the paycheck, so in effect the employer and employee each pay half of these taxes.
