Where to find 1st Quarter 2021 941?

I need to do a 1st quarter 2021 941. The current version of the form (revised 6/24/21) does not appear to be the correct versions for this quarter and I can't seem to find the version that would apply in the IRS' list of prior period forms. 

Anyone know where I should look? Thanks!

    Yep. I do know that. 

    Thanks for your input but not the answer I was looking for. 

    I have found the 2021 941, however, the section of the form where I would mark 'January, February, March' to indicate that I am reporting first quarter 2021, is grayed out. The fact that this is the only quarter that the IRS does not allow to be checked on the current form is causing me to be concerned that this is not the correct revision to use for that period. I have searched and searched for a 941 revision that would apply to Q1 2021 and have come up with absolutely nothing. 

    The instructions read as follows:

    Check the Box for the Quarter
    Under “Report for this Quarter of 2021” at the top of Form
    941, check the appropriate box of the quarter for which
    you’re filing. Make sure the quarter checked is the same as
    shown on any attached Schedule B (Form 941), Report of
    Tax Liability for Semiweekly Schedule Depositors, and, if
    applicable, Schedule R (Form 941).

    However, I am still concerned as to why the IRS does not want us to check the 1st quarter box on the current form, which is why I am seeking some input or reassurance. 

    Thanks!

    You posted in an Income Tax Preparation community for using Lacerte, ProSeries and ProConnect.

    If you are using EasyAcct, you are in the near neighborhood, but the wrong forum. Otherwise, it seems you got lost on the internet.

    I can help with this, though. The IRS has been providing form Packages. It's like a Zip File, in that more than one form is in the pdf package.

     

    Go here and get this:

    https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f941--2021.pdf

     

    You have Two Quarterly forms there. You want the first one, that is March 2021 revision. Not June 2021 revision.

     

    You might want to bookmark that IRS Forms resource, as well. This happened all of 2020, as well.

    Don't yell at us; we're volunteers

    Look on the left side for the options to open the different versions.
