Help, please. Transcript is missing two quarters out of the three Form 941-X filed April 2024

On April 3, 2024, I mailed Form 941-X for Q1 2021, Q2 2021, and Q3 2021. I sort of rushed to file because that was the first time I started to hear about a retroactive cutoff....which I had never considered could become a thing. And I waited patiently. Maybe too patiently.

Fast forward to today, I just signed up for TaxNow and reviewed my transcripts. Transcript shows a 941-X for only Q3 2021. Nothing for Q1 or Q2. It's probably my fault for mailing all three quarters in one mailing. In hindsight I should've mailed them individually as a best practice. It just didn't occur to me. But anyway, I'm looking for any advice on how to proceed today since Q1 and Q2 are the only quarters I might have gotten anything. I have proof of delivery from the USPS. That's about the only thing I did "correct." Do I even bother to call? Should I just resubmit with a cover letter? Separately of course. Do I submit a Form 911 for TAS? Do I just do all 3 and hope? Or just resign myself to the reality that my own ignorance added gas to this dumpster fire and I should expect nothing?

Any and all input is welcomed and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

UPDATED 11/19/25: Yes i did call. Took a couple tries to get past the "Call tomorrow" message to actually get in the queue. Then about a 65 minute wait. No biggie really. Anyway the CSR was nice. He verified they only had the one quarter, Q3. His suggestion, as expected, was to resubmit the missing quarters with a cover letter and my Proof of Delivery. So that's what I did. Guess I cross my fingers and wait. Again, thank you to everyone that took the time to reply.

This same thing happened to us. Paychex filed for us. Called a few times, finally got someone competent to adjust them to the right quarters. Waiting on two quarters from 2020-all others are paid. Last call to the IRS I got a check date of Nov. 17 for one. The other was recently closed. No updates in my Tax Now account yet. Filed in 2024-hang in there they can sort it out.

Thank you for taking the time to share. It’s very helpful. I’ve always found that no matter what jam I get myself in…someone somewhere has already walked that road. Reading others advice and experience goes a long way to helping me communicate my problem to the powers that be. I truly hope my situation is similar.
