What is line 1 on the 941 Report?

Issue

I printed the 941 Report and I want to know what's the line 1 amount? What if it shows a 0 or 1?

 

Explanation

Line 1 is the number of employees who received wages, tips, or other compensation for the pay period or date range. If you're running the 941 Report for the quarter, line 1 will show the amount for the three months in the quarter. 

Connect will find the period that includes the quarterly reporting date. It will round the employees who received a check in the pay period. Your organization may have additional employees working the entire quarter, only employees who were paid will be included in the count. 

If line 1 shows the wrong employee count, you will need to troubleshoot the issue before the quarterly 941 report is submitted. 

 

Solution

If line 1 on the 941 Report shows a zero or one, or a number that is different from the number of employees paid during the period, you will need to look at the period date range that includes the quarterly reporting date.

  • Check the paid employee count for the pay period. You can use the Pay Code Transaction Report - IRS Tax Deposit, at the bottom of the report you will see the total paid employees for the pay period. 

  • Check the pay code calculations for any changes. 

  • If you need help, contact customer service at (800) 228-9851 for assistance.
