Section 3201 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes a tax on railroad employees' earnings at a rate equal to the social security tax rate, as well as a tax on income commonly known as Tier II tax. Section 3221 imposes the equivalent of employer FICA tax and a Tier II tax, on the employer. Use Form CT-1 to report taxes imposed by the Railroad Retirement Tax Act (RRTA). Section 31.6011(a)-2(a)(1) of the employment tax regulations requires the employer to file Form CT-1 annually. Form CT-1X is used to correct errors on a previously filed Form CT-1. Use Form CT-1X to correct: • Tier 1 Employee tax, Tier 1 Employee Medicare tax, Tier 1 Employee Additional Medicare Tax, and Tier 2 Employee tax; and • Tier 1 Employer tax, Tier 1 Employer Medicare tax, and Tier 2 Employer tax.
