Summary

Follow the steps below to print or eFile the Form 940, Form 941 and Form 941 Schedule B.

Description

This information is retrieved from your data and it is using Check Dates.

Resolution

Select the form:

  1. From the Payroll Tasks menu, select Federal eFile and Reporting.
  2. In the Federal eFile and Reporting window, select 941/Schedule B/941-V or 940 and the period for the report, then click Next.
  3. In the Employees to Process grid, all employees are selected by default. Clear the check box for employees to exclude their wages from the reports and click Next and click Generate.
    Note: You do not need to clear the check box for employees with zero wages for the reporting period. Quarterly forms will only include employees with wages in the reporting period.  The 940 Form is an annual form, while the 941/Schedule B is a quarterly form.

  2. Verify your Federal Employer ID Number and click Next.

  5. In the State & Local Tax Items window, you can assign the correct tax account number and add all state and local taxes that need to be reported on your government forms. If you have already completed a federal or state tax form, these items may be already filled in.
  6. Click Remove to delete any taxes that you do not want to print on the forms.
  7. Click Edit to change the items already listed and Add to set up new tax items. The text on the window shows you the correct tax account number format.
  8. To continue, click Next.

Complete and verify the report:

  1. Complete all required red fields on the report and click Next Step.
