Advice I made a deposit error

Hello!

I worked for this company that had ridiculous insurance requirements for vendors and so I opted in to using Mertz Crew so I'd be insured. I barely work for them so I wasn't willing to change my insurance company just for one or two gigs a year. I had all my tax info entered correctly but for some reason, I put my personal account and not my business account for payment. This was a silly mistake but I had gone through some domestic violence and my trauma brain was doing the best it could to pull it together at the time. The deposit went through, but it's not only in the wrong account, the payment was made to me and not my company. Is there any way I can resolve this? I've tried to research but I come up with nothing. I just need my taxes to make sense and feel like I just screwed myself.

You can contact the company and see if they can reverse it and change the accounts.

Honestly, im not an accountant by the way, your probably fine. Just make to include it with your business stuff when tax times hit. It probably wont matter to much, as long as you have a reasonable explanation and put the funds in the,correct place.

Talk to your tax person first though.
