I need to file tax form 941 for previous year quarters that was missed. How do I generate the 941 form for previous years/quarters on quickbooks online?

Acquiring the 941 forms from previous years depends on how they were submitted, Venka. I'm here to provide information and guidance to help file the missed forms.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), once you have successfully submitted the 941 forms via the platform, you can archive these forms for up to two years. Furthermore, any 941 forms not submitted via QBO can be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and manually processed for submission.

 

Furthermore, it would be advisable to generate the Payroll Tax and Wage Summary report for your reference after completing the form. This report covers all necessary details like employee wages, taxes, deductions, and contributions. To create the reports, you can follow the steps below:

 

  1. Log into your QBO account.
  2. Select Reports at the left panel.
  3. Type in Payroll Tax and Wage Summary at the Find report by name search bar on the Reports page,
  4. Click on the said report to generate it.

 

Moreover, you can refer to this article for more information about viewing payroll tax payments and forms: View your previously filed tax forms and payments.

 

Additionally, this material can guide you in closing your previous fiscal year data as you prepare for the upcoming one in QuickBooks Online: A year-end guide for QuickBooks Online.

 

Return to this thread if you require more assistance filing your missed 941 forms. I'll be here to assist you once I get your reply.
