May 1 - Federal Unemployment Tax

Deposit the tax owed through March if it is more than $500.

May 15 - Employer’s Monthly Deposit Due

If you are an employer and the monthly deposit rules apply, May 15 is the due date for you to make your deposit of Social Security, Medicare and withheld income tax for April 2023. This is also the due date for the non-payroll withholding deposit for April 2023 if the monthly deposit rule applies.

Weekends & Holidays:

If a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the due date is automatically extended until the next business day that is not itself a legal holiday.
