Is that mandatory to enter the date I discovered the error on my Form 941-X?

Yes, it is mandatory to enter the date you discovered the error on your Form 941-X.

The date you discovered the error is required information on Part-1 of Form 941-X. If you are reporting multiple errors identified on different dates, enter the earliest date you discovered them. This helps the IRS determine whether your claim for a refund or adjustment is timely.

If you do not provide the date you discovered the error, the IRS may request additional information or reject your refund or adjustment claim. Therefore, it's important to accurately and completely fill out all required fields on Form 941-X, including the date you discovered the error.
