Hi, 

 I am a QuickBooks desktop(payroll-enhanced) user and have possibly enter the wrong tax tracking on a payroll item . It is a Colonial Life group confinement that is paid by the company. It is suppose to be post tax and when I set it up at the beginning of 2021 I had it under taxable group term life which I'm pretty sure that is incorrect. I also have some employees that have term life that is a deduction to the employee and I also had that classified as taxable group term life. Now on w2's those two are showing in box 12 code C. The deduction is decreasing box 1,3, 5 and the co paid is increasing those same boxes and the difference of both is showing up in box 12 code C. I have not gave w2's to employees and also have not filied my 4th qtr 941 report. Is there any way to fix this before finalizing everything?
