Employees and payroll

To determine whether you can request a refund for the employer portion and ensure the employee portion is credited to their self-employment taxes, I recommend contacting the IRS or a tax professional, Alrat.

Also, please note that filing the Form 941-X will only address the form itself. For matters related to tax payments, it is still necessary to coordinate with the tax agency directly for further guidance.

Since the purpose of the amendment is to change the employee classification from 'employee' to 'independent contractor' (Pastor at your church), you’ll have to create new vendor in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Once done, delete the paper check previously recorded for the employee and re-enter it as a regular check under the vendor's profile.

If the employee  was paid via direct deposit, you can perform a liability adjustment to correct the Year-to-Date (YTD) totals.
