.02 Use Schedule R to allocate the aggregate information reported on Form
941 to each client. If you have more than 10 clients, complete as many
Continuation Sheets for Schedule R as necessary. Attach Schedule R,
including any Continuation Sheets, to your aggregate Form 941 and file it with
your return. Enter your business information carefully.
Make sure all information exactly matches the information shown on the
aggregate Form 941. Compare the total of each column on Schedule R, line 14
(including your information on line 13), to the amounts reported on the
aggregate Form 941. For each column total of Schedule R, the relevant line
from Form 941 is noted in the column heading. If the totals on Schedule R,
line 14, do not match the totals on Form 941, there is an error that must be
corrected before submitting Form 941 and Schedule R.

instead of using the Schedule R format to report data.

submitted in similar format to the official schedule, the substitutes may be
returned, you may be contacted by the IRS, delays in processing may occur,
and you may be subject to penalties.
