Void PR check and 941

Post by jvbc »

I've searched for this answer but haven't found exactly my answer. I had to reissue a payroll check that someone lost. It was originally in June and I voided and reissued in Aug. I thought I told the system to void in month of reissue but it seems it voided the check in June and posted new check in Aug.
My tax filing for 2Q had this original check as part of the total. My tax filing for 3Q also shows this reissued check. I didn't realize that system voided the original to hit 2Q (during the 3Q) until I was reconciling my 941's and W-3 and see I am off by this check. I filed both quarters with this check as income essentially. My W3 has the correct amount.

So I realize my problem, that 2Q is now incorrect from the original filing because the void check hit that month after quarter was filed.

What should be my process now,
Do I file an amended 2Q fed and state 941 and then file W-3. Or should I file an amended 3Q instead since it was really a reissue of a June payroll.

How should I have posted this so it doesn't happen again? Any thoughts?

I'd file amended 2Q returns to adjust what the Feds and state should see, so that your end of year returns there aer correct.
