We appreciate your time reaching out to us, mac2391.

 

There are limitations in QuickBooks Desktop as not all forms are available for e-filing within QuickBooks.

 

If you use QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced, you can get the form in your product and file it manually with the IRS. However, if you use QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Assisted, Form 943 isn't supported. 

 

To know more about the different federal payroll forms, and how our payroll products support them, I recommend checking this article: Understand federal forms and tax payments for 941, 944, 943, and 940.

 

To help you prepare your tax forms in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll, you can check out this article: Year-end checklist for QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

Keep me posted if you have further questions about payroll, I’m always here to help. Have a good day!

Ok, I do understand BUT IT IS REQUIRED now to efile all forms IF you have more than 10!! I have been doing a 943 from QB for over 20 years and by now IT SHOULD be available to be efiled!!! If mailed there will be a penalty for doing so. And so far I have not found an inexpensive way to efile a 943!!!!! You can not tell me that there are NO AG groups that use QB!! I am quite sure that there are many agriculture companies that do use QB! For the amount that I had to pay this past October to renew my payroll for accountants AND the cost of QB renew which I am not sure what that actual renewal was since there IS NO QB2024 to download that is in my available download account!!!

I agree with you, for the price we pay, we should be able to e-file the form. For now we use Tax1099.com to submit them electronically. I hope this helps you.
