Keeping Your 941 Report Accurate

To ensure the accuracy of your 941 report, it’s important to handle payroll liabilities correctly in QuickBooks:

• ❌ Avoid Using the “Write Checks” Window for Payroll Liabilities:
  While QuickBooks may allow you to use the “Write Checks” window to pay payroll liabilities, this method can lead to discrepancies. Payments made through this window won’t be reflected on your 941 report, which could cause issues during reporting.
• ✅Always Use the “Pay Liabilities” Window:
  Use the “Pay Liabilities” window to create checks for all payroll tax liabilities. This ensures that your payments are accurately recorded on the 941 report, and your liability accounts are correctly adjusted.

By following these steps, you can maintain accurate payroll records and avoid complications with your 941 report.
