Forms updates
| Federal | Form 941, Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return, has been updated. Note: You might notice that the QuickBooks version of this form looks slightly different than the version of the form you receive from the IRS. This is because the IRS asks software vendors, like QuickBooks, to reproduce their forms in a slightly different format. Be assured, however, that the IRS will accept the QuickBooks version of the form when you use it for your filings. |
