Hello,  I am processing W2/W3 forms and noticed that the tips are not showing in box 7 of the w2.  I know how to correct this but I have already sent the e-file of the W2/W3 forms to the IRS.  With that, do I now need to run W2c (W3c)?  I haven't mailed out the W2 to any staff yet, just sent to the IRS (not a smart move). Also, do I need to run "corrected" 941s for each qu

Hello there, @CFO for Hire.

 

It’s important to ensure accuracy when processing W-2 and W-3 forms, as any discrepancies can impact both employee tax filings and IRS compliance. To assist in resolving such issues, I'll provide some insights and guidance on how to make the necessary corrections effectively.

 

Yes, if you've already electronically filed W-2s and W-3s with the IRS and corrections are required, you must submit W-2C forms (Corrected Wage and Tax Statements) to the IRS.

 

Before submitting W-2C forms, make sure to correct the employee profile or paycheck data in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll then regenerate the W-2s and create W-2Cs manually. You can also consult an accountant for assistance.


To correct the 941s, you will need to submit 941-X amendment forms to the IRS for the impacted quarters.
