Amend a 941 return after submission

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, TAbdo.

 

Please note that QuickBooks Online Payroll doesn't support the filing of amended or corrected forms. However, I'll also ensure you can still achieve this by effectively performing an alternate way.

 

Any changes to this tax form would have to be completed manually, processed, and sent to the IRS. Since they have copies of the forms on their website, you can refer to this page for guidance on downloading a copy of the 941-X form: About Form 941-X, Adjusted Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund.

 

Then, I also recommend printing some payroll reports and using them as your reference when filing the amended Form 941.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports menu and search for a payroll report. 
  2. Filter the dates according to your preferences.
  3. Click Run Report.
  4. Select the drop-down arrow from the upper right corner of your screen.
  5. Choose Export to Excel.
  6. Open the downloaded file and print it from there.

 

In case you need to wrap up this year’s payroll and prepare for the next, you can read this article: Year-end checklist for QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

If you have any follow-up questions or concerns about handling your 941 in QuickBooks, don't hesitate to visit this thread or add a comment below. I'll be more than happy to assist you, TAbdo. Stay safe.
