Does QB Online Advanced allow us to remit 941 employee withholding weekly to IRS? I do not believe the setup screen allows the weekly option. Please help and thank you in advance!

Hello, efish123.

 

I'll provide information to assist you in managing your Federal Employee payroll withholding.

 

If you're referring about the taxes reported on Form 941, you only have two choices. It is done on a monthly or semi-weekly basis. This makes it impossible to remit your employee withholding on a weekly basis.

 

You may choose how your payroll taxes and forms filing are handled in QuickBooks Online. We can pay and file your federal and state payroll taxes for you, or you may do it yourself. The automated tax payment and form filing is turned on by default. If you want to take control of your tax payments and filing forms, you can turn this off.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Settings ⚙ icon, then select Payroll Settings.
  2. In the Taxes and forms section, select Edit ✎.
  3. Clear the Automate taxes and forms checkbox.
  4. Choose how you plan on making your tax payments and filings.
    • I'll initiate payments and filings using QuickBooks.
      • We’ll let you know when your tax payments and form filings are due. You'll see reminders in your payroll to do list. When you're ready to pay or file your payroll taxes, see steps in Pay and file payroll taxes online.
    • I'll pay and file the right agencies through their website or by mail.
  5. Once done, hit Save.

 

Please refer to this article for a complete guide: Manage automatic tax payments and form filings.

 

I've also added this resource if you need to record tax payment made outside of QuickBooks: Recording prior tax payments.
