Enhanced Payroll - monthly reporting

Hello there, @lupabrava.

Like in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you can run the Payroll Summary or, Payroll Details report in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Then, convert the report to a .CSV file after exporting it into an Excel file so you can file monthly wage reports to the Illinois Tax Net web application.

I'd be happy to show you how to pull up the report:

1. In the left menu, click Reports.
2. Go to the Reports tab.
3. In the search bar, type in Payroll Summary or Payroll Details.
4. Set the necessary filters.
5. Click the Share drop-down button.
6. Choose Export to Excel.

For more information about running payroll reports in QBO, see this article: Run payroll reports.

You can also check out this reference if you'd like to modify your reports: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.

Let me know if you have another concern by clicking the Reply button. I'm always here for you. Have a great day.

Thanks Miriam.

We are on Enhanced Payroll for Desktop. 

We know how to get the .csv.

I am trying to figure out how to not have to do that work. 

I am trying to get the filing of that monthly return into the list of available forms to be able to efile it right from QB payroll, as we do for the Quarterly.

Thanks again.

Hi lupabrava,

As of the moment, we're unable to file a monthly wage report in a form format, like the 941 forms. Just continue with the CSV form at the moment. Then, feel free to suggest this idea to our product development team so they'll know your clients need that feature.

Thank you.

At least I know now!

Thank you.

Now we know it's a no!
