Apply overpayment from Q2 941 to Q3 941

I'll guide you how to apply the overpayment, jennrobe.

In QuickBooks Desktop, overpayment is not automatically applied to the next quarters of the 941 form. You'll have to manually override line 11 on the form to include the credit.

Here's how:

1. Prepare your 941 form by going to Employees > Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s > Process Payroll Forms.
2. Select Quarterly Form 941/Schedule B and click Create Form.
3. Choose Quarter from the small arrow ▼ then select your Quarter Ending date.
4. Hit OK.
5. Locate line 11 on the form, right-click the number and select Override.
6. Enter the new amount and the form will adjust the total due or amount of overpayment. If there is an overpayment, on the form, under line 15, select Apply to next return if you you want to apply the overpayment to the next return. Select Send a refund if you want to receive a refund check.
7. Click Save & Close to save your changes or select Print for Your Records.
