We have just had two of our Pastors become eligable for housing allowance at the beginning of the year and in the process realized we should be paying them as self employed.
We have been withholding FICA and Medicare and should not be. Is there a way to reverse these withholdings so they do not get listed as FICA and Medicare within each Pastors payroll information without voiding each payroll check and re-entering them. I would like to just llist these withholdings as Federal Income Tax. I have already closed the months accounting thru February, which I am sure complicates this even more should I have to void and re-enter. The money withheld will still be sent to the IRS, and reported as income tax. I just want to change how it is listed within the payroll database.
Any ideas on this?

In order to correct the Payroll module database you will need to void the checks and then re-enter them correctly using Manual Check. You can post all of the reversals and reentries to March in Fund Accounting yet post using the actual pay dates in the Payroll module so having January and February closed isn't a major problem. If the payroll checks were all written for the same amount doing these reversals and reentries shouldn't be that difficult or time consuming to do.

Thanks for that Matt. I thought that would be the solution. Just didn't know if there might be some other way.
