Form 941 (2026 1Q) Acceptance

[OkieGal]

Has anyone received an e-file acceptance for 2026 1st Qtr Form 941? I sent on 04/01/26 and has been pending ever since then. I transmitted using update 2025.3.02. Have since updated to 2025.3.03.

My firm has not received any 941 conformations for 1st QTR either.

I have not received any confirmation as of yet either. Starting to worry that the form is not correct and wont be accepted.

Same!!

IS there a video or something that shows you how to do the 941 electronically? We have been using this software since 1989 and we have never done the 941's that way. How did y'all learn how to do them?
