Gail in Virginia Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Have a client in the restaurant business who hired a dishwasher and they agreed to cash payments under the table. Other employees have been given W-2's, and now the dishwasher wants his W-2. I chastised the employer, told him at this point he has to pay both halves of the social security, etc. My question, though, is how to correct this. The employer has already sent in his W-2's with a W-3, and all of the other year end reports. I know we have to file a 941c to correct the taxes, and correct the other year end reports. But - do I file a W-2c for this employee changing his wages from -0- to $$$, and do a W-3c to show the new total for this employer, or can I just do a W-2 for this employee and a separate W-3 for just this amount?

TAXBILLY Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 W-3 and a W-2. W-3c doesn't apply because you are going from no W-2 to a W-2. You are not correcting an existing W-2. taxbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not correcting an existing W-2. taxbilly To clarify Taxbilly's reply - you may do a W2, as an original W2. The W3 may be prepared with just this person's wages. Of course the 941X, amended 940 and amended state unemployment forms are also required. Lynn Jacobs, EA, NP Kenner, LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
