Welcome vfraker! I'm so glad you reached out with your QuickBooks Online payroll questions. You've come to the perfect place to get answers and guidance.
Please know that filing a tax form is a different process from paying it. It's also being done in a different section in the Taxes menu.
The payment schedule is also different from how frequently the form is filed. this means that even if you are assigned a monthly schedule to pay your 941 taxes, the filing is always done every quarter. .This is the reason why you can only pay the taxes, but not file them every month.
Once the quarter ends, follow these on how you can open the form and print it:
Go to the Taxes menu and proceed to the Payroll Tax tab.
Look for Filings and click on it.
Scroll down down a little bit and look for 941.
Click the drop-down list beside File and select Preview to open a PDF copy of the form.
You can also click File and choose Record Filing to archive the form.
