As of October 27th, the IRS had 834,000 unprocessed Forms 941. They said they are still opening mail within normal time frames and have made significant progress in the processing of these forms.
As of the same date, the IRS’s total inventory of unprocessed Forms 941-X was 376,000, which cannot be processed until related Forms 941 are processed.
The agency said not all of these returns involve a COVID-19 credit, and the backlog is being worked on at two sites. The agency is taking actions to minimize delays, including rerouting tax returns and correspondence from locations that are behind to locations where more staff is available. Tax returns are opened in the order they are received.

The Form W-2 was established by the Current Tax Payment Act of 1943 as part of an effort to withhold income at source. The first Form W-2s were issued to employees in 1944. In 1965, the name was changed from “Withholding Tax Statement” to “Wage and Tax Statement” (current name).
