New and Improved Features

Tax Form Update
  • We updated Form 941 for use in 2024. For more information about the changes, see About Form 941 (irs.gov).
  • COVID-19 credits can no longer be claimed on the 941, so all fields related to those calculations have been removed from the quarterly 941 and the 941 e-file. Here's what those windows look like now:

    Printing

    The Employee Report Federal Quarterly Report 941 showing the available options

    E-filing

    The 941 E-File window showing the available options

Sections in the Quick Navigator
  • A few months ago, we introduced the Quick Navigator as a way to jump to different areas of the program. Now, we've split that screen into sections so it's easier to view and use. Remember, you can use the Find bar at the top to highlight matching results across all of these sections.

Letters with Large Images
  • Printing or emailing a lot of letters with large images can strain your network and may cause recipients' email providers to reject your message. To help prevent this, the program now warns you when a letter is too large.

    Warning message informing you that the letter is too big to send with information about what you can do to reduce the size

  • We recommend reducing image sizes before printing/emailing the letter. To do this, click Yes on the prompt to go back to the Letter Layout window, then click Edit Style. Right-click the image, and select the Reduce the resolution... option. This reduces the image size by 75% and usually does not affect the visual quality. You can repeat this to reduce the size as much as needed. Once the size is small enough, you can print/email your letter!
