jasdlm Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I am working on W2s. Client hired a nanny that should have made over $2,000, so withheld FICA. Nanny terminated and did not meet the threshold. ATX won't let me efile the W2, because it is under $2,000, without changing the employee type, which I don't want to do, but I need to pay in the minimal ($66) FICA withheld. Anyone else ever run up against this? I googled but could not find a solution. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Maybe you should bypass ATX altogether and create and file the W-2 directly on the SSA site for free. Or, you could use one of the other online filing sites for a nominal fee. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasdlm Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Okay . . . I loved Judy's idea, but it didn't work. The SSA site is giving me the same error message. My client can't be the first person to whom this has ever happened. I suppose I could tell my client to refund the FICA withheld? Aaargh. I would really rather not do that, for multiple reasons.

kimjo Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Report $0 in box 3 and 5, refund the SS n MC withheld, my educated guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfizer Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I had it happen several years ago and I simply paper filed the w-2 forms. Never heard anything from anyone so I guess it worked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
