If I started a Q3 941 and printed it to PDF and then saved it in QB out of habit, how do I bring the form up again to file it or can I start the Q3 filing again to file it.
Yes, you can safely restart the Q3 filing process or access your saved draft directly in QuickBooks Desktop, depending on your filing method. Printing to a PDF or saving a draft locally does not officially transmit the return to the IRS, so your filing status remains secure until you complete the filing.
Go to Employees, select Payroll Tax Forms and W-2s, then choose Process Payroll Forms.
Choose the Q3 Form 941 from the list.
Select Create Form, choose the correct filing period, and click OK.
Click Submit Form, then select E-file.
Enter your 10-digit IRS e-file PIN and follow the on-screen instructions to finish filing.
If you're filing manually, you can access the PDF from your local folder or open your saved drafts in the Save Filings tab of QuickBooks Desktop, then mail it to the IRS. Be sure to double-check that all numbers are accurate and complete. If you need to make any changes, you'll have to start the form over from the beginning.
I’ll keep this thread open for any follow-up questions or updates.
I didn’t complete the filing steps and didn’t file it. I opened the form and printed it to PDF and saved it in Dropbox because a client is closing their business and wasn’t having any more payroll this quarter and needed a copy for their insurance audit. I saved it QB out of habit and then closed QB.
So when I go to File their q3 941, I should be able to go to the forms section of the payroll center and start a new q3 941 without any problems?
