Learning Objective

  • Gain knowledge about the federal form 941 and its connection to forms W-2/W-3.
  • Understand the significance of reconciling Form 941 with Form W-2.
  • Learn the process of reconciling form 941 with forms W-2/W-3.
  • Develop skills to troubleshoot discrepancies in taxable wages.

Course Overview

One of the least fun activities on the planet (for most people) is filing personal income tax returns. One of the worst parts about filing personal income tax returns is when an accountant or tax software states that a W-2 is incorrect and needs to be corrected. This reflects poorly on the payroll department and can also negatively impact the company, potentially leading to employee turnover. This course helps to prevent such issues, highlighting the importance of accurate payroll management.

A solution exists to avoid this payroll nightmare: reconciliation! 

This course will thoroughly examine the reconciliation process between the federal form 941 and the W-2/W-3. Once these forms have been reconciled, you can rest assured that your payroll is accurate and compliant, allowing payroll departments to usually sleep at night…at least until the next payroll emergency.

Major Topics:

  • Federal Form 941
  • Form W-2/W-3
  • Payroll Tax Reconciliation

In this online webinar, speaker Aaron Riedthaler will provide an overview of automating certain payroll functions. It will equip you with practical tools and valuable tips that you can immediately apply to your payroll setup, processing, and payroll-related payments, making your payroll management more efficient and effective. With this knowledge, you can feel confident in your ability to handle payroll issues.
