You're correct, Kent26.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you must first pay your outstanding dues from June before e-filing your 941 form. All payments must be settled before moving forward with the e-filing process.
To ensure timely filing, we recommend filing the forms manually outside of QuickBooks, following the IRS guidelines for the process.
On top of that, maximize the efficiency of your filing processes by partnering with our Explore Payroll team. With extensive expertise in the field, they specialize in streamlining financial operations and delivering insights tailored to your business needs.
