Hi! I'm having trouble doing an IRS Form 940 in the new user interface.
All the combinations of menu choices produce a form 940 without any numbers on it; only the top block that lists our EIN, company name, etc. is filled out.
Here is a typical set of choices that produces a number-less form 940:
After getting the tabbed dialog window with tabs Report / Setup / Chart / Form Setup / Saved Reports....
1) The choice for Report: Template: (Quarter, Month, Employee, Branch, Dept, etc.) don't seem appropriate for Form 940 which is a yearly report (I think).
2) Nevertheless, I selected Report: Template = by Quarter and then Report: Time Period = Last Year, then Report: Display Column = 8 items selected, then Report: Group = Date - Quarter, then Report: Sort by = Date - Quarter
3) On the Setup tab I left all the defaults (Setup: Fields = 8 items selected, Report: Page Orientation = Portrait, ....)
4) On the Chart tab.....it is n/a
5) on Report: Form Setup: Type of Return, the choices (Amended, Successor Employer, No Payments to Employees, Final Business closed or stopped) don't seem appropriate...I'm trying to do my yearly report for 2012. (Yes I know I'm very late.)
For Report: Time Period, I've tried a variety of time periods including custom dates...however all produce a blank (number-less) form 940.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
