I had a contractor who was overpaid and returned the money. How do I make this adjustment so their 10-99 reflects the total payments net of the returned money?
Hi! There are a few options depending on how you paid the contractor and how much they were overpaid.
1. If the contractor was paid via manual check, you can follow these steps to delete the stub and then re-process the contractor payment for the correct amount. When they reprocess, they would want to select "pay all contractors by check" to ensure the person does not get paid again.
2. If you overpaid the contractor by a little and you have another contractor payment to make to the contractor for this tax year (2019), you may be able to correct this overpayment by deducting the wages from your contractor's next paycheck.
3. If this cannot be corrected on a future pay period and the contractor was paid via direct deposit, you can call the Payroll Customer Success team and they can work with you to delete the stub from your pay history. Note: contractor payments via manual check can only be deleted the on Square dashboard, but they can't currently do be done for direct deposit payments.
