W2 for Household Employee

Recommended Posts

Trying to create W2 for Household Employees.  2 employees.  2nd one didn't end up making $2,400 because of some unexpected changes, but my client withheld FICA/MEDICARE for paychecks throughout the year.  ATX won't let me create the efile without changing 'household employer' to 941 because she didn't make $2,400.  It seems weird to click '941' since no 941s were filed, but the only other option I can think of is to have my client refund the FICA/Medicare, which seems strange.  Anyone else deal with this before?

Since the employee was under the threshold for FICA/mc, that sounds like the right thing to do,.

Then for that employee's W-2, report zero for fica/mc wages, but report the gross in box 1.

ATX should then allow you to file with household employee box checked.
