DO NOT TRY TO FILE 940 - Intuit Accountants Community

We just received the first ever 940 successful confirmation for 2025.

How?!

If your banking info looks perfect, the software likely has a corrupted "Electronic Filing History" file for that specific company. Renaming this file forces the program to create a fresh, clean transmission record.
1. Close EasyACCT.
2. Open Windows File Explorer and go to your Company Data Path (e.g., C:\EASYW\DATA or your server drive).
3. Look for a file named EFCOMHIS.### (where ### is your 3-digit Company ID).
4. Right-click the file and Rename it to EFCOMHISold.###.
5. Re-open EasyACCT and try to e-file the 940 again. You will have to re-enter your PIN/EFIN, but this usually clears the "invalid format" error.

Just simply submit it again. No other actions needed.

Thanks. The one I just resubmitted got accepted now.

I just tried again and 940 was accepted   Intuit must have fixed something on the back side

are you working with just one client. That would take me until next week to do and I have sales tax and 1099's to do.

I just did the update this morning (01/22/26) for the 2025.2.06 version.  Just after I went and re-efiled a 940 report and it was successful.
