Retirement tax questions
Perhaps, but I'm not sure how you fix the problem of the deposits you already made and perhaps correct the plan agreement to show the plan as established under the S corp. If the plan was properly established under the S corp, you might only have an accounting problem within the S corp to sort out so that the W-2 reports the proper amounts in boxes 1 and with code D in box 12.
A W-4 has nothing to do with establishing payroll deductions for the purpose of elective deferrals to a 401(k). You must make a written request to your S corp to make any elective deferrals to a 401(k), either as a lump sum or as periodic deferrals, and no elective deferrals are permitted until you make the election. The S corp will need to retain a copy of that election dated prior to any deposits of elective deferrals.
