I don't have access to file.  Once i get to the forms tab, it just shows what has been filed.  I don't have a choice to file something new.  Maybe it's automatically done?

My concern is that they don't file it on time.  When I called they said they could file the withholding reports for Utah and also the wage report for Utah for unemployment. Is that correct?  If they send the reports, then I don't need to do anything outside the system, right?

My issue is that these forms are due by 4/31 and they aren't completed yet.  However, the 941 forms were done right away and I can download them.  What would explain this?

My concern is that I don't see the reports on my quickbooks and they are due in just a few days, April 31.  Also, I checked the Utah withholding website and the Utah unemployment and I don't see anything filed.  I need to make sure that this will be done by you guys to avoid penalties.  Shouldn't they be done already?  The 941s you did were done ASAP

Hi @Golfer2016,

I want to ensure that your state withholding tax return is filed on time for the deadline, which is the end of this month.

With that said, I suggest checking your E-Services, and make sure they're active for both Federal and State. If this is already the case, I suggest contacting our Technical Support team for further assistance. They can pull up your account in a secure environment, as well as assist you with activating your E-Services for State taxes.
