Household Employee Help

[DaveinTexas]

I have a new client who employs a HH Employee for tax years 04 and 05. I prepared the W2s for 04 and 05; he knows he is late. After preparing and subsequently filing these W2s, I realized I didn't report the correct amount in box 1; gross wages plus FICA paid by the employer.

He wants me to prepare his employee's taxes. Should I correct the W2s and stir up the SSA or should I add the additional wages in box 1 to line 21, other income?

Hep me buddies!!!

Corrected W-2s should be prepared. This also could affect the federal & state unemployment taxes.
