Correcting 2nd Quarter payments on 2024-941 form in the 2022 version of QB desktop now updated to the 2024 version.

@Evergreen12  Can you elaborate on why you need to correct the Q2 2024 941 payments?

Thank you for reaching out about correcting the 2nd Quarter payments on the 2024 Form 941 in your QuickBooks Desktop, which has been upgraded from the 2022 to the 2024 version. I understand the importance of accurate payroll tax reporting. Let's go through the process together to make these corrections efficiently and accurately.

Before correcting Form 941, let's verify all historical tax payments for the 2nd Quarter are accurately recorded. If you haven't done this yet, please follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Payroll Setup Interview.
2. Proceed to step 5 Year-to-Date Payrolls, and click Continue.
3. If your company has issued paychecks this year, choose Yes and click Continue.
4. On the next screen, select Tax Payments and click on Edit.
5. Print the Tax Payments Checklist and consult with your accountant before proceeding.
6. Select the arrow next to the desired quarter to enter tax payments.
7. After entering all payments for a quarter, proceed to the next quarter and repeat the process until all tax payments have been entered.
8. If no tax payments have been made, the Total Amount You've Already Paid should be left blank, and the values in columns one and three should match. If they do not match, there may be issues with the prior payroll entry. These issues must be addressed and corrected before proceeding.
9. Once the payments are entered, balances in Balance Remaining may need to be paid.
10. Hit Done Entering in Tax Payments when you have completed entering payments.

You can also record and correct tax payments outside the Payroll Setup window. For guidance, refer to the article: Enter historical tax payments in Desktop payroll.

Once you've accurately entered and corrected all payments, you can now file your corrected Form 941 for the 2nd Quarter of 2024. For instructions, visit this article: File a corrected Federal Form 941 and 940 in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.
