The other day, my client handed me 2 checks from the US Treasury, both dated December, 2019 The amounts were for his 2019 1st and 2nd quarter, 941 taxes. The payments that my client sent in were paid timely. I have never had this happen before and don't quite know what the next steps are. Any help would be appreciated.
It appears that the 941 taxes were paid but the forms were not filed, or were not processed properly. Or the payments were doubled up. Get account transcripts for the periods and compare them to the 941's as they should've been filed and paid.
I would also tell the client not to cash those checks.
For JR, he's the only client that still uses the 941-V (payment voucher). States right on the voucher, "Make check or money order payable to United States Treasury".
