We have not filed Quarter 1 Form 941 or state payroll reports, but none of them are showing in Action Needed.

Hello, Chris.

 

We can start by checking the filter settings in the Payroll Tax Center to ensure the 941 form is visible. Let me provide the steps on how this works.

 

  1. Open your QuickBooks Online Payroll.
  2.  From the left-hand navigation menu, click on Payroll and then select Payroll Tax. 
  3. In the Payments tab, ensure there are no pending payments. 
  4. Next, in the Filings tab, click the Filter button, check the box for 941, and then click Apply.


Additionally, we can verify if the filing frequency is correctly set up to ensure that the forms are scheduled to appear at the right times. Here are the steps to check and ensure the filing frequency is properly configured:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon in the upper right corner.
  2. Under the Your Company section, choose Payroll Settings.
  3. Click the pencil icon next to Federal Tax.
  4. Make the necessary changes and save your settings.


For more detailed information about checking the Payroll Tax Center and verifying the filing frequency, you can refer to these articles:

 

 

Moreover, you can run a payroll summary report, which gives you the total payroll wages, taxes, deductions, and contributions. 


After filing the 941 form, you can either download it or print it for your records. If you need further assistance, feel free to click the Reply button, and we'll respond to you as soon as possible.

941 is not showing up under tax jurisdiction in the filters. All it shows is WA.  I have checked all of our settings and everything looks correct.  I think last quarter I clicked something saying to have Quickbooks file it for me, but I don't see that option, nor do I see where it may have been filed for me this quarter.
