Note: Be sure to change the amount in the Line 11 Total Deposits field, if different than the program calculation.

If you change the Total Deposit to a number $0.40 higher or lower than the program calculation, the difference will show in fractions of cents (line 7a 941, or 6a 944). If the difference is more than $0.40, it will show as either a balance due (line 12) or an overpayment (line 13).

  1. Fill in all appropriate fields. When finished, click OK. The filled in Form will open in Acrobat Reader. If necessary, modify/edit any field in Acrobat Reader, save the file if you wish, and/or print out pages from Acrobat Reader.

Changes made to Form 941 in the Adobe Reader program are not reflected in Payroll.
