Subject: Urgent: Q3 Payroll Adjustment Required for Blue Horizon Tech

Hi Sarah, I hope your week is going well. I’ve finished reconciling the payroll books for Blue Horizon Technologies for the third quarter of 2025. It looks like we missed a handful of bonuses in the initial September filing, which led to an underreporting of wages. Specifically, the original reported wages for Q3 were $450,000, but the actual total was $485,000. 

I’ve confirmed that all W-2 forms have been correctly updated to reflect these totals. We need to file an adjusted return immediately to correct this. I discovered this error on January 12, 2026. Because we underreported the tax, we should proceed with the adjustment process (Line 1). 

For context, our EIN is 47-1234567. Our office is located at 882 Pine Street, Suite 400, in Austin, TX 78701. Since we are dealing with a balance due for the underreported portion, please prepare the Form 941-X for the third quarter. I’ve attached the detailed spreadsheet, but here are the highlights: corrected wages are $485,000 against the $450,000 reported, a difference of $35,000. Please ensure the certification for W-2 filing is checked. Thanks for handling this so quickly, we want to clear this up before the Q4 filings are due.
