Let me guide you in the right direction on how to file your 941 forms, HPH-12.
In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), you'll have to set up the filing method to E-file and enroll in the IRS e-file program to submit your payroll tax forms electronically. I'm here to ensure the process is a breeze for you.
Here's how:
- In your company file, head to the Employees menu at the top bar to choose Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s and Process Payroll Forms.
- Head to the Other Activities section and click the Manage Filing Methods link.
- Select Filing Methods and choose Federal 941/944/943 or Federal Form 940.
- Tap the Edit menu.
- Under Select how you want to file the Form… select Filing As Responsible Individual (Owner/Partner/Corporate Officer) for a single FEIN.
- Choose E-file and then select Finish.
After setting up the filing method, enroll your company in the e-file program. Here's how:
- In your company file, head to the Employees menu at the top bar to choose Payroll Tax Forms & W-2s and Process Payroll Forms.
- Under the Filing Methods screen, select Enrollments.
- Choose IRS and select Edit.
- Follow the on-screen instructions, verify your EIN, enter your company’s legal name and address, and click Next.
- Enter the name, job title, email address, and phone number of the person the IRS can contact about your enrollment and your payroll tax forms and press the Next button.
- Note: This person must be associated with your company and not be a third-party provider or accountant.
- Select Send Information.
Once you have the 10-digit IRS Efile pin, you can send your payroll forms electronically in QBDT. For detailed instructions, head directly to Step 3 in this article: E-file and e-pay federal forms and taxes in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.
When you sign up for the EFTPS service, you'll have to wait 7 to 10 business days to get your PIN and enrollment number via mail. Enter the data into your EFTPS account as soon as you receive the 4-digit EFTPS PIN.
Here's how:
- Go to EFTPS.gov.
- Head to the Login tab.
- Enter the information needed (EIN, 4-digit EFTPS PIN, bank account, or last eight digits of your enrollment number), and continue with the process to create your password.
Next, configure your tax payments to e-pay. For the step-by-step process, proceed directly to Step 2 in this guide: Set up Federal e-file and e-pay in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Enhanced.
