I need the Retirement Box on my W-2 to show as unchecked this year. I tried going through the W-2 annual filings which allows you to make the retirement plan "Inactive" but it still shows up on the W-2 even with inactive checked.
Then I tried to update my 401k plan in the Payroll Setup area, but when I try to turn off my 401k, it tells me my "401(k) plan is managed by Guideline" and I have to edit it on Guideline's website. BUT, I don't use Guideline. All of my retirement is handled by me on Fidelity. Further, I wrote to Guideline to ask them if they have an account with me and they don't.
So, my question is - how do I get that 401k box to show unchecked on my W-2 this year? Also, tried editing payroll items under "Lists" making the 401k inactive - and that didn't affect the change on my W-2 either. I have not taken a 401k deduction this year so that would not be the reason it is showing up, either.
Is this a glitch? Or is there some way to get it to have my W-2 not show me having a retirement plan?
I'm on Quickbooks Desktop Pro and Enhanced Payroll.
