Where can i find a previous 941?

I can guide you through the steps to access your old 941 form in QuickBooks Online, @tlynch929.

 

You can access the forms you've already filed in the Archived forms section of your account. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Taxes, then Payroll Tax.
  2. Choose the Filings tab.
  3. View your tax forms under Upcoming Filings or select Archived forms and filings.
  4. If available, select Preview to view forms not yet filed.

 

Here are some related links to guide you with pulling up your past tax forms and filing them:

"If available, select Preview to view forms not yet filed."

 

I download and print my 941 & 940 tax forms. Previously, I've been able to "preview" and download the forms as far back as when I switched to Quickbooks Online (the beginning of 2022, I believe). Now, when I go to find previous forms, I only see the previous 2 quarters (Q3 & Q4 of 2022). Where are the rest??

Let's get you connected to the right channel that addresses your concern on time, as77.

 

We'll have to access your Payroll Tax Center to determine why you're unable to view the previously filed tax forms. To ensure the security of your account, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team.

 

They can look into this matter more thoroughly and direct you through the steps for gaining access to the missing payroll forms (941 and 940).

 

To obtain the contact details:

 

  1. In your company, head to the Help icon in the upper right to display the support window.
  2. Choose the Assistant tab and then enter a brief description of your concern in the Type something field.
  3. Click the Get help from a human link and type a phrase or keyword in the What can we help you with? field like missing 941 forms. 
  4. Press the Continue button to view the support options.
  5. Select Chat to initiate a conversation or Callback to speak with an agent.


You can use these resources to get answers to common payroll questions as well as methods to access your tax forms and payments in your payroll service:

I appreciate the initial steps you've performed, @goldmedalestates7. Allow me to assist you further and provide additional steps that you can easily follow so you can view your 941 forms. 

 

First off, the process of viewing tax forms varies whether you choose to e-file the form or file it manually. 

 

If you will or have e-filed your tax form, or we filed for you: 

 

  1. Go to the Taxes menu then select Payroll Tax.
  2. Go to the Filings tab, select Resources and your past forms are accessible in the Archived forms and filings section.
  3.  Hit Preview. 

 

If you filed the form manually, archive the form first then access the form. For the step-by-step process, kindly go to the View tax forms section of this article: View your previously filed tax forms and payments.

 

Please note that we can only view and print previous 941 forms if they're archived in the program and it's only available within 35 days after the end of each quarter. 

 

However, if you still can't view your previous 941 forms after considering the information above, let's access your QBO account using a private browser to check if your browsing is the one causing the issue.

 

To open a private browser, you can use the following shortcut keys on your keyboard:

 

  • Safari: Control + Option + P
  • Google Chrome: Press Ctrl + Shift + N
  • Firefox or Internet Explorer: Ctrl + Shift + P
     

If this works, this suggests that clearing the cache of your usual browser is required to begin with a clean system. However, if you still face the same problem, I recommend switching to another supported browser

 

Furthermore, if you are interested in generating payroll reports in QuickBooks to gain valuable insights into your business and employees, I'd recommend checking out this article: Run payroll reports.

 

You can always count on me if you need a hand accessing and securing a copy of your archived 941 forms in QuickBooks Online. Just hit on the Reply button and I'll be right here to assist you. Have a good one.

I am trying to find one from the first quarter of 2024 and I cannot find it anywhere, it's not in archived forms or filings.  Help!

Thank you for sharing your QuickBooks situation with me, Helekahi. I'll provide details to help access the previous year's Form 941.

 

When Intuit submits the forms on your behalf, you can expect all forms to be accessible for viewing or printing 35 days after the quarter concludes. However, please know that if there is an amendment to Form 941, the case needs to be completed before it appears in your Archive forms and filings. Once it's available, follow these steps to view them: 

  1. Access your QuickBooks Online company.
  2. On the left navigational bar, click the Taxes tab and then select Payroll Tax.
  3. Select the Filings tab.
  4. View your current tax forms i the ACTION NEEDED or COMING UP section. Or select Resources, and then Archived forms and filings for past forms. You'll then click Preview to view.

 

For reference, see the image below.

You can check out this page for more details: View your previously filed tax forms and payments.

 

I also recommend verifying if you've added the correct date when using the Filter option on the Archived forms and filings page. By doing so, the system can pull the correct Form 941 and show it to you.

 

Additionally, check out this article to help you navigate this year's payroll tasks in QuickBooks: Year-end checklist for QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

If the issue persists, I suggest contacting our Live Support Team to help you access the Form. Refer to this page for more information: Get help with QuickBooks products and services.
