Thanks for the reply! Good point about the FUTA cap of $7k. And yes, my accountant is ridiculous with nickeling and diming me for simple tasks and they said their hourly rate is $190/hr. so they always charge a minimum of 1 hours work apparently even for a task that I felt could take 5 minutes.

At first I called QuickBooks but the 2 agents couldn't help me. After I called and got a 3rd agent (Natasha - VERY nice), she knew exactly what I meant and showed me how to create a paper check with the amount I need and she was even able to show me (via screenshare feature) the previous year where my accountant did this for me.  It's really rolling the dice talking with QB agents, some absolutely know their stuff and some have no clue, no clue at all.

Thanks again for your help and I'll do this towards the end of this month for 2024 and see if I have any more questions.  Have a great week FishingFor Answers!
