PR-L-G  Print 941 & Schedule B Reports

Purpose of Program

Form 941 is a payroll form submitted to the federal government once every quarter.  The form includes information about your payroll amounts, taxes withheld, adjustments, and tax liability.  The information for this form comes from the computer's payroll data.  If you have not been running payroll for an entire quarter, you will need to supplement the payroll data which appears on the screen.

The fields on the screen correspond directly with the 941 form.  Use the number in front of each line to find the related line on the actual form.  Refer to the appropriate booklet for an explanation of each field.

General Program Operation

When you start this program, the screen prompts you for the appropriate dates.  Enter the year and choose a quarter from the menu.  Then verify the beginning date.

The program then calculates the chosen quarter's payroll information based on the payroll data in your system.  You will have opportunity to change these amounts as necessary and to supply additional information that is not stored in the system.

When you are finished entering all displayed fields, the program will proceed to print the form.  You are given the choice of viewing the report on the screen, sending the report to the printer, or sending the report to a disk file.

After the form is printed, you are given the option of printing a schedule B report that accompanies the 941 form.
