I don't think it's Roth. It's a straight 401k employee contribution "effort" to make it appear the employee/officer is making a payroll contribution..... gross payroll less fed w/h less med, less soc sec then the net check on 26 bi-weekly payrolls. And then this craziness, apparently designed to make the W2 appear as routine; 401k Box 1 is less then Box 3 as if the retirement contributions had actually happened via payroll, but it didn't, other than the S did actually send the funds...... how to account for this? how to transact on the funds leaving the business bank in support of satisfying a 401k payable that doesn't exist...
