How do I find copies of all forms 941 filed last year?

I appreciate you for reviewing your archived tax forms, @Jason. I'm here to help you find the 941 forms filed in QuickBooks Online so you can file a worker's comp audit immediately.

To start, let's access your QuickBooks account using a private browser. This step disables the cache from saving your browsing history, which also affects its performance. Here are the keyboard shortcuts:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• MS Edge and Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

Once done, let's follow the steps below to view your Form 941 and ensure you've selected the correct filter:

1. Go to Taxes, then Payroll Tax.
2. Under Forms, select Quarterly Forms or View and Print Archived Forms to see the archived ones from prior periods.
3. Tap the 941 link.
4. Click Preview, then download the form in PDF format or print it.

See these snippets below for your reference:

If this works, you’ll need to clear the browser's cache. By doing this, it’ll remove the built-up cache in your default browser, so you can start with a clean slate. You can also use other supported browsers as alternatives.

If you're still unable to see all of them, I'd suggest getting in touch with our QuickBooks Online Support. They can pull up your account and help you get the other quarter of your 941 forms.

How do I access archived reports that go back farther than a year?

I appreciate you for joining the thread, @Mmfarris. I'll help you access your archived 941 forms.

Usually, you can view those forms as long as you've archived them. You'll have to ensure that you've filtered the correct date so you'll see the data you need. 

If you're currently using QuickBooks Online, you can follow the steps below on how you can do it:

2. Choose the Filings tab.
3. Click Resources and tick Archived forms and filings.
4. Select the ▼ dropdown menu to filter the form type you want to view.
5. Hit the form name, then View.

For QuickBooks Desktop, you can view this article for the detailed process: View your previously filed tax forms and payments. If you're still unable to see all of them, I'd suggest getting in touch with our QuickBooks Online Support. They can pull up your account and help you get those forms.

Hi. I need help!! I too need Quarterly reports for my workers Comp audit. I have spent a totally of five hours with desktop pro to get these reports with no luck. My company had to transition over to Quickbooks online from desktop pro 2021 and I no longer can get access to these payroll reports. Customer service people passes the buck to someone else and has jumped ship 3 times leaving me stranded again, who does this. All I need is access to my previous desktop to get these reports. Someone please help me.

Hello there, @Silas1234. Upon reading your post, I can see how challenging it was for you to access your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) payroll reports to move to QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

We appreciate your efforts in finding ways to achieve your goal. Allow me to help you handle it this time.

Let's ensure your QBDT Pro 2021 account is still active to access previously filed quarterly forms. I'd like to know if you encountered any errors opening your account. If so, we can run Quick Fix my Program from the QuickBooks Tools Hub to resolve common errors.

Here's how:

1. Close QuickBooks.
2. Download the most recent version (1.6.0.5) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Also, we recommend using the Tool Hub on Windows 10, 64-bit.
3. Save the file where so you can easily access it. If you've installed it before, you can find out which version you have by clicking the Home tab. It's visible on the bottom part.
4. Open the file (QuickBooksToolHub.exe) and follow the onscreen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
5. Once done, click the icon twice on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub. If you can't find the icon, search for it on your computer.
