Hello,

 

I see an icon that says "A tax payment is missing below" but there is nothing below.  I was late on my last monthly 941 but this has never been an issue before.  How do I get this notification cleared out?  TIA

I expect you mean this message:

 

If so, it means that you have one or more tax items that do not have a payment frequency selected. For example, monthly or quarterly. When no payment frequency is selected the tax will not appear in the table of taxes to pay.

 

RE: How do I get this notification cleared out?

 

Click the Go to Schedule Payments link in the message and then select payment frequencies for any tax where they're missing.

 

Note that this can happen if you add a new tax and don't schedule payments for the tax or if you've previously scheduled the payment for a tax but the governing agency changes the schedule options. Then, after getting a payroll update, you might suddenly see the message.

Hi there, westoncare.

 

There are a lot of reasons why your 941 tax payment won't show in the Pay Liabilities.

 

The reasons include:

 

  • There is a liability check created that covers the amount of the missing liability.
  • Overpayment of the liability.
  • Your liability is mapped to a different account, not for payroll. 
  • The liability account use is marked inactive in QuickBooks.
  • When creating a liability check, the starting or ending period is incorrect.

 

Also, ensure that there is a payment schedule set up for the specific tax item.

 

If all the details above were correct, please call our Payroll Support Team. They can pull up your account securely and further investigate why the semi-monthly 941 tax payments aren't showing up when you go to the Pay liabilities section. Just click this article on how to reach them: Contact Payroll Support.

 

I'm adding these articles as your reference on how to prepare and file quarterly forms:
