Depending on your payroll service, you may be able to correct it yourself, or we can handle the correction for you, Tammy.
Before we dive into the steps, I want to ensure we're handling this correctly from an expert perspective. I highly recommend consulting with a tax professional or accountant first. They can provide specific guidance to ensure everything is compliant with tax regulations and correctly reported.
Please know that the process for fixing your W-2 and W-3 forms depends on your automated tax and form settings. If these settings are enabled, you must contact us to request a correction. We will then fix the issue and file a W-2C form with the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Here's how you can reach us:
- Go to the Help menu and select the Search tab.
- Next, click Contact Us.
- Select a topic to connect with the right expert or choose to ask about something else to enter a brief description of your concern. Then, press Continue.
- Lastly, pick Start a Chat or Get a Callback to connect with them.
On the other hand, you can correct the issue directly in your product and file your W-2 as usual if the settings are disabled. For guidance on which part of QuickBooks you need to adjust for accurate reporting, please refer to the general instructions from the IRS.
