941 returns missing

The IRS just informed me that I never e-filed my 941's although they have accepted my payments...

I just recently cancelled my payroll services through Quickbooks. Now I don't even have access to the forms that used to be there. Do I need to subscribe to payroll to submit those forms?

Thank you for adding your first post, Julia. I can share information about filing forms in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

Yes, an active payroll subscription is required to submit forms from QuickBooks. Since you just recently canceled your payroll account, you can reactivate it to proceed with filing your 941. Otherwise, you can consult with the IRS for further assistance. This way, they can provide you with alternatives on how you can send the returns outside of QuickBooks.

I just discovered that Q2 for 2021 (941) was completed but not filed by QB. What are my options? I was applying for ERTC and now this delays my approval. IRS states that it takes 6-8 weeks to process. I don't understand how QB did not file it if all the other 941s were accepted and processed.
