Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community! That's awesome that you were able to find the reports. Just to clarify, are you trying to prove the payments or the tax filing to the IRS? I will be looking forward to your response. Take care in the meantime.
yes now that i have found the report which i mailed in March to prove it the first time. Obviously they did not note i had sent it in and that it had been recieved. So if i mail it again, who's to say it will be documented? How can i assure it is documented that it has been done?
Thanks for responding, @BodyshopBiz.
