Accounting for Overpayment to Pastor??

A pastor was inadvertently overpaid and of course the overpayment and its employee tax implications are already posted and stored in
Powerchurch. The pastor has sent back a check to the church for the amount of the overpayment, but how do I, as treasurer:

1. enter the returned check properly as a transaction?

2. get Powerchurch to generate an accurate W2 at year's end? :?: :?: I use PC version 9 BTW

What I would have done was just adjust the next paycheck .. much easier to do. You could still do that, and return the check back to the pastor.

FWIW ... I would think about upgrading to v11.55, for a number of reasons.
1. Version 9 is no longer being supported with upgrades or fixes
2. Version 11.55 has a completely revised Payroll module which actually makes it easier to do payroll.

Can't do what you suggested; pastor no longer works for us. No more paychecks to adjust!

Ah ... well, I no longer have v9 installed, so I can't test a programmatic way to do this, however, there is still a way to get the W2 edited properly but you'd have to do it manually. I seem to recall that in v9, you can edit the W2 prior to final print. You already know how much was overpaid, so all you need to do is manually adjust the total wages.
