Hey there, roseburgstc.

Federal Form 941 and Form W2 reporting changes will also be needed to correctly report deferral amounts Therefor, at this time, we ask that you hold tight as the US Treasury is working on issuing guidance surrounding the implementation of the deferral and we will continue to keep you up to date with the latest information. Regarding if you want to defer or not. In the meantime, check out the latest payroll news and updates.

If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to post down below. Thank you for your time and have a nice afternoon.

That didn't answer the question on do we have to defer the social security taxes if the employees would rather continue paying them.
