Sometimes you may make a mistake on your initial Form 941 that you need to correct. You'll then use Form 941-X to amend the original filing. This amendment form can also be used to claim credits retroactively if you are eligible but failed to claim it for the applicable quarter.
Beginning in 2024, the IRS allows electronic filing of Form 941-X as part of Modernized e-File (MeF). However, only corrections for the 2024 tax year could be e-filed.

The IRS uses these forms to reconcile federal tax deposits that each employer makes. If you find that you have filed a 941 with errors, you can amend the filing with a Form 941-X. This corrects any errors that may have been overlooked when you originally filed.
