When QB files payroll tax forms, is there some kind of proof that it has been received and accepted by the govt?

Hi stewartsbaker,

I'm here to answer your query regarding the form filing.

Yes, there is. The status of filing serves as evidence that the tax forms have been received by the government. Here's how to verify them:

1. From the Taxes tab, select Payroll tax.
2. Go to the Filings tab.
3. Select Filter and choose the form or report you want to see and check the status under Done.

Here's what each status means:

• Not Transmitted - You did your part, but we haven't sent it to the IRS, state, or local tax agency yet.
• Transmitted - We sent the form to the agency. But the agency hasn't processed it yet.
• Accepted - The agency has received and accepted the form.
• Rejected - The receiving agency has received and rejected the form. Review the rejection letter emailed to you for the specific reason.
