941 E-file never submitted

Proper accounting of all payroll liabilities is essential to your operations, ImaBassetcase. I've got information about Form 941 submission in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Payroll.

Yes, you'll have to start over and resubmit. You'll have to delete your unfiled 941 from your saved lists and fill and submit a new one. This process will ensure compliance with tax agencies and maintain accurate financial records.

Here's how to delete it:

1. Open QBDT, go to the Employees menu, then select Payroll Center.
2. Select the File Forms tab.
3. In the Filing History section, find the incorrect 941 form.
4. Click the link under the SAVED PDF column.
5. Copy the file location after opening it.
6. Open your File Manager from your computer and paste the copied file location in the search bar.
7. After locating it in your computer's file, right-click it and hit Delete.

Once done, you can then resubmit your federal form. Here's how:

1. Go to Employees, select Payroll Tax Forms and W-2s, then Process Payroll Forms.
2. Pick the federal form you need to file from the list.
3. Select Create Form. Choose the form filing period, then hit OK. 
4. Review each part of the form. You can select Check for errors, then make necessary corrections.
5. Click Submit Form. Then select E-file. 
6. Enter your 10-digit IRS Efile pin and follow onscreen instructions to continue filing the form.

You can also verify the status of the payroll tax forms and payments you sent electronically through QuickBooks to the IRS or state agencies.

Certainly, ImaBassetcase. You can contact the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regarding refiling Form 941. Let me get with you the specifics of why.

It is important to note that monthly scheduled depositors must complete Form 941, or it will appear that you didn't deposit your taxes when due. Since you're refiling for the second quarter of Form 941, the filing deadline was due on July 31, 2024, and you only refiled the form for this month. According to IRS guidelines, there will be penalties for the late submission of Form 941, and these penalties will vary based on how late the filing is.

With this, it is best to contact the IRS directly to discuss any potential penalties that may apply to your situation. If there were justifying circumstances that caused the delay, you may be able to request a penalty abatement.
