filing a 941x

Thanks for your help.

I originally did all that but the system will not let me type the corrected amounts on page 2 of the form. It will not even give me the option to override the box and fill in the corrections. Why?

Good afternoon, @Bernadette10. 

Thanks for joining in on this thread. Let's work together so that you're able to change some information on this form in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) account. 

First, ensure that you have the latest version of QuickBooks so it can work to its full potential. Next, download the latest payroll tax table. Don't worry. I can walk you through the steps. Here's how: 

1. From the Help menu, pick Update QuickBooks. 
2. Click the Update New tab. 
3. Choose Get updates. 
4. Exit QuickBooks Desktop when the download is finished. 

Afterward, all you need to do is delete and recreate the 941x form. Here's a guide that can help you out: Correct or Amend Forms 941 and 940. 

These steps should do the trick. Should you need any further assistance don't hesitate to ask. I'm always here to lend a helping hand. Wishing you and your business continued success!
