Thanks for joining us, @Stefanyusa.
I'll share the steps on how you can file form 941. You'll want to run the QuickBooks File Doctor tool. This tool helps fix the company file issues. Let me guide you how.
After running the tool download the latest tax table update. See this guide for details: Get the latest payroll tax table update.
Lastly, try creating the form again.
