Yes, entering the date you discovered the error on Form 941-X is mandatory. This date must be provided in Part 1 of the form. If you are correcting multiple errors found on different dates, enter the earliest date of discovery. The IRS uses this information to determine whether your refund or adjustment request is filed within the allowable time frame.

Failing to include this date may result in processing delays, requests for additional information, or even the rejection of your claim. To avoid issues, ensure all required fields, including the discovery date, are accurately completed.
