Payroll: How to effectively correct Forms W-2 and Amend Forms 941
No one wants to have to amend tax forms but no matter how many precautions you take to avoid it, there will always be a time that you will need to do an amendment. The material in this webinar will teach you how to collect the information needed to complete W-2 corrections as well as file the amended 941 forms and any additional state and local tax filings.
Paying employees is one of the biggest expenses for a company. Any company that has employees is required to withhold and pay payroll taxes. In addition to what you withhold from an employee, there are tax forms that must be filed and given to the employee. The size of your business, where you are located, and where your employees live and work; all of these things factor into what you must withhold from employees’ wages and what you must pay as an employer. Understanding these things and knowing how much to withhold, how often to pay, what forms to file, and what information to include is sometimes overwhelming.
No matter how much we double-check figures and try to make sure everything is correct on these forms before they are sent out there is always a time when an error is made or something was left out. Debbie will discuss in detail how to amend the W-2 form and 941 forms. Details of how to make these amendments, and how quickly you must get them to the employee and the government agencies that are affected will be covered.
During the webinar, Debbie will discuss specific types of errors found on form W-2 and provide guidance on how to make the necessary corrections. She’ll provide information on amending both current year and prior year corrections. Failure to properly amend corrected forms and payroll tax filings may result in additional tax, penalties, and interest. She will also help payroll departments avoid penalties and time-consuming responses to follow-up questions from the IRS and other taxing jurisdictions.

Payroll Tax for Non-Resident Alien F-1 & J-1 VISA's
Payroll Taxes for Non-Resident Aliens are different than taxes for US Citizens.
Many countries have tax treaties with the United States which allows Non-Resident aliens an exemption from either all or part of Federal tax withholdings. Different types of VISA Holders get certain exemptions from Federal Tax and FICA/Medicare tax. This webinar will cover VISA types of F-1 & J-1.
An F-1 VISA is specifically for Full-time Students who come to the US to study at an accredited college or university. These students can also apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT) in their major field of study which allows them to remain in the US for an extended period of time after they have completed their studies. A J-1 VISA is similar to an F-1 VISA but is for Teachers and Researchers in a specific field of study for a specific amount of time.
The F-1 & J-1 VISA holders are both exempt from FICA/Medicare tax if they become employed for personal services while in the US. They may also be exempt from Federal Tax withholding if their country has a Tax Treaty with the US. Some treaties exempt all wages from tax and others have specific dollar limits that can be earned before they are subject to taxes.
This webinar will go over what Employers need to know on how to treat these employees for payroll tax purposes. What forms do they need to complete to receive a tax treaty exemption and the specific forms that must be filed at Year-End? Also, what to do if there is not a tax treaty in their country?
