Fyllyo uses local AI to interpret your documents, calculate required answers and fill PDF forms. Review the answers and their sources before saving, without uploading client documents.

A simpler way to prepare a PDF.

01

Pick a form

Choose a built-in template or set up your own blank fillable PDF once.

02

Add client documents

Drop in PDFs, scans, photos, Word files or typed notes. The AI reads them on your computer.

03

Review and save

Check the source lines, confirm key facts and edit the PDF. Uncertain values stay blank and flagged.

Form reference

Before you begin.

Use these notes as a starting point. Check the issuing agency’s current form and instructions for your client’s situation.

Fyllyo helps prepare PDFs. It doesn’t provide legal or tax advice, determine eligibility, or file forms for you.

Collect what changed for the quarter

Grab the original filed Form 941/941-SS, payroll registers, 941 worksheets, 1099/3rd-party sick pay reports, and any W-2c plans. Note the quarter you’re correcting, the date you discovered the error, and whether amounts were underreported or overreported.

Details worth checking

Wrong quarter/year or outdated form version

Using the wrong quarter or an outdated 941-X can delay processing and force rework. The April 2023 revision and current OMB number must match what the IRS expects for your period.

EIN, legal name, or address errors

A mistyped EIN, swapping trade name for legal name, or an incomplete address can misidentify your business and stall refunds or credits.

Selecting both processes in Part 1 (Claim vs. Adjusted)

You must pick exactly one: ‘Adjusted employment tax return’ or ‘Claim’. Checking both (or the wrong one) creates conflicts and processing delays.

Missing certifications when reducing employee tax

For overreported employee taxes, you generally must certify employee reimbursement and, when required, have written statements that they won’t claim a refund/credit.

Part 3 math or line mapping mistakes

Misstating ‘originally reported,’ ‘correct amount,’ and ‘difference’—or miscomputing tax—leads to wrong balances, credits, or refunds.

Vague or incomplete Part 4 explanation

Without a clear ‘how and why’ the IRS may question your filing, slowing credits/refunds.

Using one 941-X for multiple quarters

Each quarter needs its own 941-X. Combining quarters can cause misapplied credits and processing issues.

Signature/preparer block left incomplete

Unsigned or undated forms (or missing PTIN/preparer details) are not processable and will be kicked back.

Attaching 941-X to Form 941 or mishandling line 27 outcome

941-X is filed separately (except for worker reclassification). And when line 27 is negative, credit vs. refund depends on whether you chose Adjusted return or Claim.

Set up your own form once.
