The W-3 is matched with the 941's. Both use your EIN.
There is no automated matching between the 1040 and the 941
in such a case.

Ok, so I got a tax ID, filled out and mailed in 941's for Q2
Q3 and Q4 2006, showing no money due (kid employed in family
business means no FICA, no FUTA, and amount was so small no
taxes were due), and filled out a W2 and W3 and sent them
in.

All of these were quite late, hopefully since nothing was
owed there won't be any penalties.

Here's what puzzles me though.

Since rentals go on schedule E and not on schedule C, there
was nothing anywhere on my return indicating anything with
the new tax ID I got. Is this going to be a problem? How
does the IRS resolve what shows on the 941's and W2's with
the lack of any return using the new tax ID?

Did I mess this up?

No. the only way you use a 944 instead of a 941, is IF IRS
so directs.

And if I might rant for a moment, That 944 is the biggest
bunch of (........ expletive deleted, use your own perverted
imagination) anyone at IRS headquarters ever thought of.

However; "have a nice day!" (grin)

I had to do a lot of repair work on one of my rentals this
year and I had my kids help me quite a bit doing various
things like cleaning and helping me with light carpentry,
etc. I paid them $10/hour to do this work. All work was
done in Q4 of 2006. For one kids the total was about $100,
for the other about $1100.

My understanding is that I can deduct what I paid them as an
expense on the Schedule E on this property by doing the
following:

1) Getting a tax id
2) Issuing them W2's and filing W2's and W3's
(I guess I can do this electronically)
3) File a 941.

Did I leave any steps out? Can/should I file a 944 instead
of a 941?

Thanks.
