An amendment is used to correct payroll errors discovered after payroll has already been processed and filed—this includes post-payment corrections and payroll tax filing errors.
When to Use Amendments
Amendments are typically required when:
The error occurred in a closed quarter (previous calendar quarter).
A simple correction or void is not enough to resolve the issue.
Tax filings need to be updated to reflect accurate information.
Common cases include:
Incorrect employee wages or tax withholdings
Wrong payroll tax agency submissions
Adjustments to employee classification or deductions
How to Request an Amendment
To initiate an amendment, submit a support ticket to Atto with the following information:
Quarter: Indicate which quarter the error occurred in.
Agencies: List any payroll tax agencies involved.
Employees Impacted: Identify which employees were affected.
Amendment Amount: Provide the corrected amounts that need to be updated.
Important Notes
Amendments typically take longer to process than voids due to the extra review and approvals required.
