I use QB Enhanced Payroll on Desktop
This is the method I used for revising my 941 for Q1 of 2021. Note that for Q's that have already had 941's submitted you will need to complete a 941x and submit by mail.
I had not done any payroll using the ERC payroll item because we didn't qualify due to having a PPP loan. Since the law has changed we are now eligible. When I went to file our 941 for Q1 of 2021 there is no way to edit any of the numbers and worksheet 1 is not even available.
After spending a LONG time on the phone with support, they were telling me there is no way to edit the paychecks because the direct deposits had already been completed, and there is no way to edit the 941 or worksheet 1 because no ERC items had been used.
So.... I created a single paycheck (for later deletion) for someone in Q1 with $1000 of ERC (using the setup QB has outlined). I did not submit or otherwise process this payroll. I made sure the paycheck was for a period in Q1 and dated within Q1. THEN when I run the 941 all of the items I need to revise became so I could override them, and worksheet 1 was available and I could edit the numbers I needed to. I can then just delete the paycheck after submitting the 941.
Be sure you run and print (do not submit) a 941 prior to creating the fake paycheck so you know what the numbers are.
I have gotten to the point where I can submit the 941 but I haven't done so as I'm awaiting final review from my CPA, but I'm assuming that this method will work.
