Question

Rejected Tax payment

I efiled my 941 tax deposit but it was set to be withdrawn on a holiday (I'm guessing) and it was rejected. I've just now noticed it when it wasn't on my bank statement. Is there a way I can re-file this through Quickbooks payroll?

    @robins1962  Yes, but given that QB uses EFTPS, I doubt it'll be any easier than logging onto EFTPS yourself.

     

    How did you originally pay the 941 tax? I'm guessing not EFTPS, given that it allowed you to try to set it for a holiday.

     

    That being said, even if you did set it for a holiday, I doubt it would reject; it would just attempt to take it out on the next business day. Are you certain that the payment didn't just bounce?

    LOL, yes I'm certain it didn't just bounce. This is what was in QB when I clicked "view". 

    Problem: The date is invalid or a holiday/weekend. Do not use.
    Solution: The Withdraw On date is not to be more than 365 days in the future and not a holiday or weekend day.

    Please resubmit your e-payment with a valid Withdraw On date. If you are up against a payment deadline, please contact the tax agency for assistance. For contact information, go to the Payroll Tax Support website (https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/help-article/payroll-compliance/payroll-tax-compliance-links/L0H0Syx14_US_en_US).

      @robins1962  Oof.

       

      I think I'd be asking if QB plans to cover any late payment penalties, considering the amount they charge us each year.

       

      Here's hoping you're under the $2,500.00 quarterly tax total.

      Good evening, @robins1962. 

       

      How are you doing today? I hope you've been great so far. 

       

      First, you'll want to see the reason for the rejection. To do this: 

       

      1. Go to the Employees menu, then choose Payroll Center. 
      2. Click on the Pay Liabilities tab. 
      3. Tap on the E-Payments tab from the Payment History section. 
      4. Look for the rejected 941 payment and click the Agency Rejected link 

       

      Once you have reviewed the reason behind the rejection, you can void the rejected payment by clicking on the Void Rejected E-Payment button. 

       

      This will reopen the Liability in the Payroll Center. 

       

      To resubmit:

       

      1. Navigate back to the Pay Liabilities tab in the Payroll Center. 
      2. Click on the Liability you just voided. 
      3. Tap on E-Payment, then E-Pay. 

       

      That should do the trick. For more information about this process, check out Handle E-File and E-Pay rejections. 

       

      Please don't hesitate to reply back if you have any additional questions or concerns. Have a good one!

      This is the reason in QB which doesn't make sense to me. Seems like it would just withdraw on the next business day.
