Be a Worksheet 1 Warrior

Zero to Report? Zero Stress!
Unless you are a seasonal employer, or fall into one of the other exceptions, you must file Form 941 every quarter. Even if you have no taxes to report for the quarter. To help these employers save time, our team created the Zero-filing Feature.
Simply indicate that you have no taxes to report when you begin your Form 941, and the application will take you to the end of the filing flow to review your form. That’s all there is to it!
Know where you Stand with the IRS
One of the best reasons to file your Form 941 electronically is that you will know where you stand with the IRS. When you transmit the form electronically, you will receive an instant update and continue to receive updates until the form is accepted.
When paper filing and placing your form in the mail you won’t have this luxury. You will have no concrete way of knowing when your form arrives at the IRS and given the size of their backlog, it may be a long time before you receive any type of update.
Paper forms just can’t be processed as quickly as forms in the electronic format. Save yourself the headache this quarter!
