I forgot to file Q1 2020 form 941. How do I find the old version of the 941 form so I can send it in?

Hey there, 

Welcome to the Community. Currently, the IRS updated the final version of Form 941, which has also affected the form for the first quarter.

You can go to click this link to open and furnish the 941 for 2020 Q1 and Q2: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-access/f941_accessible.pdf. Then, mail it directly to the IRS. 

For future reference, read through this article: Tax deadline changes by State due to COVID-19. It has a list of states that offering tax waivers or extensions for withholdings or unemployment. 

Feel free to message again if you need anything else. We're always delighted to help. 

This link goes to a form that is only for the 2nd quarter of 2020.  The 1st quarter is greyed out.  Do you have a link to the form previous to that?

Hello there, @frustrate.

You can check the filed or archived forms in QuickBooks Desktop to view or print a copy of 941 forms.

 Here’s how:

1. Login to QuickBooks Desktop and go to the Employees tab and select the Payroll Center.
2. Select the File Forms tab, and then View/Print forms. 
3. In the Payroll Tax Center window, enter your Payroll PIN. Then select OK.
4. Select Filed Forms. Then, select the forms you want to view, print, or save.

Please know that your completed forms are available in your product 35 days after the end of the quarter or year.

I’m adding an article for additional information on how to prepare and print form 941: Prepare 941 forms.

If you have any other questions, mention me in the comment section below. I'll get back to you as quickly as possible. Keep safe!

Hello,

I know this is a late reply but it might be helpful for another user looking for this form. Please see attached for the original 941 2020 Form (Rev. January 2020).

Hope this helps :)

I can't get the attachment to open, any suggestions?

This gets you the updated 2021 form, I need the 2020 4th qtr form.

Thanks for joining this thread, @pat G.

Yes, you're right. Due to the updates, the form in QuickBooks is now the 2021 quarterly taxes. This way, I'd suggest going to the IRS website and get the 2020 4th quarter form from there and manually enter your desired data. You can check out this article, for more details: IRS website.

Also, you can check out this article for ideas about how you can obtain a copy of your tax form and how QuickBooks populates the line on Form 941:

• How QuickBooks Populates The 941?

Additionally, you can run the Payroll Summary report to confirm the number of employees paid during the specific pay period. Here's how: 

1. Go to the Reports menu, then select Employees and Payroll.
2. Select Payroll Summary.
3. Adjust the date range appropriately, then hit Run report.

For future reference, read through this article: Adjust payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Desktop. It helps you learn about how to make payroll adjustments in case of discrepancies. 

Keep in touch if you need any more assistance with this, or there's something else I can do for you. I've got your back. Have a good day.
