Third Party Sick Pay - 941 / Schedule B

Hello there, @LR22.

To complete Form 941, you'll have to override line 8 with a negative amount for Social Security Employee and Medicare Employee withheld on the sick pay by the third-part. You can see Section 6 of Publication 15A for details on tax adjustment on third-party sick pay.

I've also added this link about tracking taxable third-party: Track and submit taxable third-party sick pay.

Don't hesitate to drop a comment below if you have other questions. I'm always happy to help. Take care!

Would I also adjust the Schedule B or leave it as is?  If I leave as is there is a the difference which equals the amount I enter (as a negative) on on line 8?

Thank you for responding.  Would I also adjust the Schedule B or leave as is?  If I leave as is, there is a difference equal to the amount I enter on line 8 of the 941.  I am required to submit the Schedule B.  If I leave as is, I get a message that there are errors on my report because my Schedule B and 941 do not match.  Please Advise.

Thanks for getting back to us, @LR22
