Payroll Tax 941 not being accepted by IRS

Hi Heartd0c,

I'm here to explain to you the reason you got a notice from the IRS regarding the submission of your Payroll Tax 941.

If you received a notification from the IRS or state agency stating that your e-filed tax form or e-payment was rejected, there's no need to worry. We will assist you in comprehending the reasons and what steps you need to take to rectify and resend it.

Here are the possibilities as to why it was rejected:

• Duplicate tax filing
• The account number is invalid or correct
• The form was sent too early
• Tax deposit or filing schedule is incorrect
• Common rejection reasons for QuickBooks Desktop Only

With that, I suggest contacting our phone support so they can help you through the process of fixing the issue. You can get in touch with the team by clicking the ? Help icon.

Furthermore, you can check these articles in handling payroll rejections:

• Handle payroll e-file and e-pay rejections
• Pay and file payroll taxes and forms electronically in QuickBooks Online Payroll

You can always post in the forum whenever you have tax concerns.

I’ve got to try and find time to do this. The earliest I can try is this Friday. 

I received a notice from the IRS that they received an amended 941 for Q2, but they need more information and need me to fill out a Form 941X. In order to do that, I need access to the actual Q2 941 form. Apparently ‘bounced’ forms are not archived and nothing shows in my archive area except state forms. I think I need to try call for support

And so it goes …
