    Does anyone know the procedure for adjusting the 1st quarter 941 to report the amount of payroll tax deferral?

      This only seems to apply to the credits, not the payroll tax deferral. The only guidelines I could find were the IRS would let us know how to file the 1st quarter, so far crickets....

        As you said, I haven't heard anything.

        Personally, because it only applies to March 27th-March 31st in the first quarter, I would just tell the client to pay it all, and then start the deferral for the second quarter.

          Does the deferral start with Q2 due to the almost-end-of-March start date?

            Deferral of employment tax deposits and payments through December 31, 2020 | Internal Revenue Service

            The Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) allows employers to defer the deposit and payment of the employer's share of Social Security taxes and self-employed individuals to defer payment of certain self-employment taxes. These FAQs address specific issues related to the deferral of deposit and payment of these employment taxes, as well as coordination with the credits for paid leave under sections 7001 and 7003 of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and the employee retention credit under section 2301 of the CARES Act. These FAQs will continue to be updated to address additional questions as appropriate.

              It is for any deposit due from 3/27 on. So for someone on a monthly deposit schedule, that could be all of March liability.
