Filing Form 941 Error

Hello, bvstone.

The error your getting is an early draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication, which the IRS is providing for information. Drafts of instructions and publications usually change before their final release. 

If you want more in-depth information about this, you can check the instructions for Form 941.

If I can be of any additional help about filing your forms, please add them below. I'll be sure to help.

Hello there, @bvstone and  @MTgf.

I can see the importance of filing your 941 forms in the Quickbooks Desktop version. Also, I appreciate all the things you've tried to generate the form within your company file.

Once QuickBooks release the form, you run the payroll update to make form 941 available. I see that you've tried it already. Before updating the payroll, let's try to update QuickBooks to the latest release first. This way, we can download new updates and critical fixes or patches. Here's how:

1. Click Help.
2. Select to Update QuickBooks Desktop.
3. Go to the Options tab.
4. Select Mark All, then click Save.
5. Go to the Update Now tab.
6. Click the Reset Update box.
7. Click Get Updates. 
   

Once the update finishes, close and reopen the software. Then, click Yes to install updates when a pop-up appears. Next, try to download the latest payroll tax table update. 

To prepare and print Form 941, Schedule B, and Form 940, you can read through this article: Prepare your forms, and print and save them.

Also, you can find information on the latest payroll update as well as earlier release updates: Find recent payroll updates.

I'll be around if you have other concerns about QuickBooks or filing your forms. Take care and stay safe.
