Form 941 ARP - taking tax & wage credits retroactively

Yes, you can manually enter the transactions for the Q3 on the 941 forms, EdOr.

I've got some information on how to enter these items in QuickBooks Online.

 You can create liability checks for the third quarter and ensure to fill in the correct information however, we'll have to make sure that the Year-To-Date data are correct. That said, you can do a payroll liability adjustment. 

I'd also recommend reaching out to your accountant so you'll be guided in doing the adjustment. 

I've added this article as your guide about the adjustment process: Adjust payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop.

Afterwards, you can run a payroll liability balance report to ensure that the data entered are correct.

Keep me posted if ever you need help in doing the adjustment. Have a good one!

Thanks Adrian, I should be able to figure out those adjustments and submit the Q3 941 with those credit amounts shown. Once I do that and have a credit balance with the IRS, do I just apply that amount to subsequent weekly 941 payments?  As an example, if I determine that we have $5,000.00 in payroll tax / wage credits per the ARP for 2021 Q3 and owe $6 000.00 on the first weekly 941 payment of Q4, I just apply that $5,000.00 to the $6,000.00 and pay the remaining $1,000.00?
