Form 941 filing rejected

Hi there, Business5. Let's ensure the information you've entered on the form is correct. Let me add some details below.

 

kindly check these information if they are accurate:

 

  • Name format: (Last Name, First Name)
  • Use IRS Guidelines: Refer to this article for guidelines
  • Check for Special Characters: Remove any special characters
  • Confirm Spelling: Double-check the spelling of the taxpayer's name

 

If everything is correct, I suggest contacting our QuickBooks Online support team. They can check your account and determine why your form was rejected.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Login to QBO account.
  2. Click the Help icon.
  3. Select the Search tab.
  4. Enter Contact Support in the search field section.
  5. Click Contact Us.
  6. Select Chat or Callback to speak with an agent.

Form 941 filing rejected

I am also having this problem out of the blue.  I've been submitting these forms through QBO for several years and it's been setup properly.  I have been unable to get ahold of QBO Support for a week.  I get to the point that it says a person will be on soon and no one shows up.
