Hello, @arkvalleyinfo.

 

You can add or correct information from a submitted W-2 form by filing a W-2 C form. Though, this amended form is currently unavailable in QBO. You’ll need to get a paper copy from the IRS and file it through a regular mail.


You can check this article for the detailed steps on how to prepare the form: Online Payroll: Correct or amend W-2 forms.

This doesn't answer the question.  The question is the same as I have, using online payroll, you are unable to make any kind of edits to the figure that is populated in box 1.  I need to add the amount that was paid by the business for the 2% shareholder health insurance to box 1.  The w2s have not been filed yet.  I think the original poster means they previously filed quarterly payroll reports but not the w2.

Hello there, ljfd.

 

I can guide you through in adding the 2% S-corp health insurance to your W-2 form.

 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you'll need to set up an S-corp Insurance for it to automatically reflect on your W-2 forms.

 

Here's how to set up an S-corporation pay type:

  1. Go to Workers from the left menu.
  2. Select Employees.
  3. Select the employee's name.
  4. Select edit (pencil) icon beside Pay.
  5. In section 3, select the edit (pencil) icon.
  6. Maximize Even more ways to pay employee, then select S-Corp Owner's Insurance.
  7. Select Done.

I've got you an article for a detailed steps on how to set up S-Corp Insurance in QBO: Set up S-Corp Owner's Health Insurance.

 

You can also check out this article to know more about the supported pay types and deductions in Online Payroll.

 

That's it. I'll be around anytime you need help with something else or further questions while working with your W-2's in QBO.

How do I adjust W-2 and forms 940 and 941 S-Corp Owners Health Insurance Expense? I am using QB PR Online. The instructions below are no longer reflective of the latest online screens so they are hard to follow.

Thank you for choosing QuickBooks Online, @wkorpacz.


 
QuickBooks online updates the systems to ensure a good quality experience for our valued customers.


 
Since @AldrinS already give you the instruction to do the adjustments. However, you were unable to follow through because it has a difference interface on your end. 


 
What I can recommend is to contact the payroll support team, they are the ones to guide you through screen sharing in adjusting on your forms.

 


In addition, I found this article that shows you how to use QuickBooks Online Payroll's year-end checklist.

I have followed the directions and QBO will not allow me to submit.  So all these directions work up until you try to submit a payroll with a 12/31/23 date.  This is a net zero check with no tax consequences, yet it is telling me I can't do this because there "may be" tax penalties.

Let's face it QBO has made it impossible to edit any paychecks, or create after the fact paychecks for prior years to correct ANYTHING.  QBO is the only payroll providor that will not allow you to do this.  QBO is not the best payroll solution.
