2023 Form 943 for desktop

Allow me to explain why you're unable to see form 943 in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), RTO. 

You can file form 943 in your QBDT but this depends on your subscription. 
 

For you to see and use this form, you'll have to use the QBDT Payroll Enhanced plan. If you're not using this subscription, you can use another 3rd party to file electronically.

You may refer to this article if you want to learn more about Form 943: Understand federal forms and tax payments for 941, 944, 943, and 940. 

If you have further questions regarding form 943 or with the other form, please type your concerns in the comment section. 

I do have enhanced payroll for QBDT.  

I did more research and form 943 is NOT supported to file electronically.  Which is really really stupid.

I would like to file it electronically like all of the other forms.  But QBDT does not support that.  Which is weird and stupid

Hello, @RTO.

I completely understand how important it is to file Form 943 electronically on a desktop, just like other forms. Don't worry, I'm here to help you with any questions or concerns you may have about the filing process.

If you're using QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced, you can access the necessary tax forms directly within the product, allowing you to manually file them with the IRS. This provides a streamlined process for managing and filing tax forms related to payroll.

Moreover, if you're using QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Assisted, it does not support Form 943 for the filing of an employer's annual federal tax return for agricultural employees. Additionally, it's advisable to consult with a tax professional or accountant for guidance on how to accurately file Form 943 and comply with IRS regulations.
