Where can I find out if my 941 form was filed if I do it manually outside of quickbooks?

It's good to have you here. Let me share insight with your manually filed 941 forms outside QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Since you have filed your 941 forms outside of QuickBooks, you may want to confirm whether the form has been filed with the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service. You can contact the Internal Revenue Service to check whether your form has been filed accurately and on time. The Internal Revenue Service maintains a record of all the filed forms, so they can help you determine whether your 941 forms has been successfully filed or not.

Once you have filed your tax forms within QBO, you can easily manage your copies by viewing your previously filed tax forms and payments. See this material as a guide: View your previously filed tax forms and payments.

Moreover, in QBO, you can also record tax payments you make outside QuickBooks. Check out this article to learn more: Record tax payments made outside of QuickBooks Online Payroll.
