Ensuring that the e-filed federal tax forms are sent successfully to the IRS is significant to stay compliant, csp54321. That's why I'm here to guide you in monitoring these filings in your account.
Once you e-filed in QuickBooks, the Submitted status of your annual 940 and quarterly 941 forms were already sent to the agency. However, the IRS hasn't processed it yet. State agencies can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
Additionally, if you haven't received an email confirmation after sending tax filings through QuickBooks Online Payroll, you can check the status in your company file. Here's how:
- Go to Taxes and then Payroll Tax.
- Select Filings.
- Once done, click Filter to choose the form or report you want to see. You can also scroll down to the filings under Done. The status next to the tax name will be displayed. Otherwise, select Archived forms and filings.
Take note of these tax filing statuses:
- Not Transmitted: You did your part, but we haven't sent it to the IRS, state, or local tax agency yet.
- Transmitted: We sent the form to the agency, but the agency hasn't processed it yet. The IRS generally processes forms within a few weeks.
- In Agency or Sent to [Agency]: Indicates that the IRS, state, or local has received your forms, but hasn't processed or confirmed its acceptance.
- Accepted: The agency has received and accepted the form.
- Rejected: The receiving agency has received and rejected the form. Review the rejection letter emailed to you for the specific reason.
Furthermore, reach out to our Support Team if you haven't received updates from your filings. They have the tools to reevaluate the status of your account.
