How to confirm tax form 941 has been successfully e-filed through Quickbook Desktop?

Upon my initial attempt at e-filing of the 941 report through QuickBooks Desktop, I received an email from QB Payroll Service confirming successful processing by the IRS agency. However, it lacked the customary acknowledgment number typically provided by the IRS for W-2 e-filings via QuickBooks.

 

Additionally, unlike my experience with W-2 filings, where the QuickBooks audit trail promptly reflects an "Agency accepted" status post-filing, the audit trail for the 941 form continues to display a "Submitted to Intuit" status even after one week, despite the reception of the acceptance email from QB.

 

What is the way to know for sure whether my form 941 has indeed been successfully e-filed and processed by the IRS?
