jasdlm Posted January 26, 2018 Report 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
jklcpa Posted January 26, 2018 Report 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
jasdlm Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report 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 Posted January 26, 2018 Report $0 in box 3 and 5, refund the SS n MC withheld, my educated guess Quote

gfizer Posted January 26, 2018 Report 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
