Question

E-filing 941 keeps rejecting.

How I went through QuickBooks and changed my filing method to e-file and followed the instructions to register. Then I received the letter from the IRS with my 10 digit PIN. I followed the instructions  to complete the registration with the IRS. However, I keep getting the 941 form/report rejected. Can anyone help me and maybe tell me what I'm missing?

Hi there, Angel.

 

Your 941 e-file is rejecting due to various reasons and you need to contact the IRS to handle it. Here are the possible reasons why your form was rejected:

 

  • Duplicate tax filing.
  • Account number is invalid or correct.
  • Form was sent too early.
  • Tax deposit or filing schedule is incorrect.
  • Common rejection reasons for QuickBooks Desktop Only.

 

Here's the detailed article on how you can handle this: Handle payroll e-file and e-pay rejections.

 

After identifying the possible reason, you'll need to reach out to the IRS and work with them so they can decide the best course of action.
