941 blues

Print the form again using a date of June 30, 2008.

... And save a copy for your files??? :)

You'd think it would be that easy. The problem is, QBW is printing the form and it says 2009, not 2008, even though I'm specifying it's for the second quarter of 2008.

That's the problem.

thanks

Never used QB for payroll so can't try it out. You might have to temporarily set your system clock back if it won't accept creating the report generated over a custom time span as in the Tax Preparation reports or it overwrites it during the printing w/ current date.

Again, a guess, but you might be able to export the report to pdf and then edit it???

Or, not knowing the 941 requirements, does it actually have to be submitted on a specifically formatted form? If not, export the data to Excel and make your own substitute form.

"Make your own substitute form", what's up with that? Download the old form from the web and fill it in.

QB will only print the current year forms. Check your inbox. I sent you the IRS 2008 941 form in pdf format. Just fill in the form using the numbers you just generated in QB.

Thank you, Laura!!

You are welcome.

I've printed the Forms 941 for prior years & blacked out the year date at the top & inked in the correct year. I don't think this is approved and I'm *not* recommending it. However, at least so far, there have been no complaints from IRS.

In prior years that probably was okay but the format of the 2009 form has changed to reflect the Cobra coverage option. I guess you could cross those lines out or just leave them blank.
