A S-Corp food service client had federal withholding pulled from their December credit card transactions.  How do I enter this in Lacerte to pass through K-1's?

    Are they operating the card terminal agreement under the S Corp and the S Corp EIN? Or did someone enter personal info for this, or it transitioned from a prior entity?

    I had this happen to a client because they did not comply with furnishing information (W9 ?) to card processor.  They however were a Sole Prop.     Verify FID on 1099-K is for the SCorp. 

    Can you input amount on page 1 line 24a and include copy of 1099-K as attachment?

    This doesn't answer how to do it in Lacerte, but I think it goes directly on line 13g of Schedule K (code "O").

    If it was backup withholding under the S corporation's EIN, I think you want Screen 26.2 Sck K Credits, then on the left side choose the last section Other Credits - Sch K Lns 13C-13G. There's an input line for Other credits and when you click on it, you can select O for backup withholding in the K-1 Code drop down.
