FICA Corrections for Exempt/Non-Exempt

If an employee was incorrectly marked as exempt or non-exempt and wages need to be corrected, please follow this process.

This article will help you make corrections to an employee's wages if they have been incorrectly marked as FICA exempt or non-exempt. You'll want to follow these steps to correct your employee's status and wages:

 

  1. Correct the employee's exemption status following the steps.

  2. If the corrections are from the current quarter only, you can correct employee pay using our Current Quarter Voids Release. If past quarters need to be adjusted, you'll want to Submit a Case to partner with the Service team on corrections. Prior quarter corrections will result in amended returns and fees.
