I'm here to ensure you're able to e-file your client's 941 forms, @TannerClose

 

If the Filing Method options for E-file are missing, I recommend downloading the latest tax table and update QuickBooks Desktop to its latest release. This process helps fix some payroll form-related issues as well as helps synchronize the updates.

 

Then, proceed to the steps on how to change the filing method of the Federal forms to E-file:

 

  1. Select the Employees menu and then choose Payroll Center.
  2. Open the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Setup, and go to the File Forms tab.
  3. Under Other Activities, click Change Filing Method.
  4. In the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Setup, click Continue.
  5. Choose Federal Form 940 from the list of forms, and then select Edit.
  6. In the Filing Method options, choose E-file and then click Finish.
  7. Check if the filing method of your Federal Form 940, 941, and 944 is already E-File and select Continue.
