I am trying to run the 941 for 2Q 2021, and there is both ARPA Employee Leave and ARPA Family Leave in the payroll for the quarter, but when I pull up Worksheet 3, both are combined in the Employee sick leave section, and I can't figure out how to make it be calculated correctly.  Everything is populated in Step 2a-f, and there's nothing in Step 2g-i.

Hi there, @asmcghinnis.

 

Let me provide some information about how ARPA Employee Leave and ARPA Family Leave wages are calculated in 941.

 

Once you create payroll in QuickBooks Desktop, the system will calculate based on the amount entered on each payroll item. And those amounts will reflect on the payroll forms accurately. Since the wages for ARPA Employee Leave and ARPA Family Leave populating in the Sick Leave wages section, I suggest reviewing the created payroll checks for the second quarter.

 

However, if the amount of the items are entered accurately, I recommend reaching out to our QuickBooks Support Team. This way, they can look further into this matter and provide additional steps to separate ARPA Employee and Family Leave items on the 941 Worksheet 3. Here's how to reach them:

 

  1. Go to the Help icon and select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
  2. Click Contact Us.
  3. Write your concerns in the description box, then select Continue.
  4. Select which one of the support options you'd like to use.

 

You can also check out this article for another way of reaching out to our support team and its support hours: QuickBooks Desktop Support.

Please let me know if you need clarification about this, or there's anything else I can do for you. I'll be standing by for your response.
