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.
If you made an error that requires a Form IL-941-X and you made the same reporting error on your return and your employee's Form W-2 or payee's Form 1099 or W-2G, you must also provide your employee or payee with a Form W-2c or corrected Form 1099 or W-2G, and attach copies to your Form IL-941-X.
When you discover an error on a previously filed Form 941, you must: Correct that error using Form 941-X; File a separate Form 941-X for each Form 941 that you're correcting; and. Generally, file Form 941-X separately. Don't file Form 941-X with Form 941.

Form 941-X (Adjusted Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund Form) is used to correct any errors made on the 941 Form. If you find an error on a previously filed Form 941, you must correct this error using Form 941-X.
Reminder: If you file Form 941-X to claim the Employee Retention Credit, you must reduce your deduction for wages by the amount of the credit for that same tax period. Therefore, you may need to amend your income tax return (for example, Forms 1040, 1065, 1120, etc.) to reflect that reduced deduction.
When you discover an error on a previously filed Form 941, you must: Correct that error using Form 941-X; File a separate Form 941-X for each Form 941 that you're correcting; and. Generally, file Form 941-X separately. Don't file Form 941-X with Form 941.
Reporting ERC on Tax Returns Form 941-X: To claim the ERC, you generally need to file an amended federal employment tax return. This is done using Form 941-X for each applicable quarter. This form reports wages and health insurance costs related to the ERC.
If the amount under/over withheld is deemed too excessive, the IRS can send a lock-in letter notifying the employer how to adjust withholding regardless of the employee's W4 requests. If a W-4 error is caught before filing, individuals can correct this relatively easily by refiling a W-4 with their employer.
