Form 941 is only filed if you are a business paying employees and withholding taxes from their paychecks.  It must be filed at least quarterly and sometimes more often, depending on the size of your payroll.  TurboTax does not prepare form 941. QuickBooks might, if you use QuickBooks for your business. Making mistakes on form 941 can result in substantial penalties for your business and personal liability for you depending on the kind of business it is.  You may want to ask a professional accountant to help you set up your business accounting and explain the payroll forms and help you through the first few quarters, or maybe even outsource your payroll to a payroll company.

Does TurboTax or TurboTax Business have the capability to walk me through filing my Form 941 quarterly?

not so fast why should most taxpayers who do not need to file 941s  pay the extra cost of the incorporation of such a form into an income tax program? in addition, you not only have 941's but 940, W-2's, W-3, and any related state forms.

 

 

but in a way you are correct. if you don't understand the app don't use it. there are probably Turbotax users who should really be using a pro.

 


The regular  quickbooks online program is a bloody nightmare ... RUN FOR THE HILLS  !!!

 

The SELF EMPLOYED version is a bit better however you can get lost fast. 

 

The downloaded version is wonderful  and will do everything you need and want   HOWEVER  you must know what you need and want so it is better for those who know bookkeeping or are at least willing to learn ... I use it myself for my bookkeeping clients.
