Self-Employed client - Deferrals done from payroll in 2019 and 2020, but bookkeeper did not transfer to the owners simple IRA account. Can the corrections for both the 2019 and 2020 Tax-Year be done at the same time (by January 31, 2021) under the self-correction program?

Self-employed typically refers to Sole Proprietorships, which have no payroll for that owner. It isn't possible to defer anything from their paycheck; they have no paycheck.

Payroll implies the W2 was issued, as well. It would show the data. Not depositing isn't the same as not reporting.

The bookkeeper has control over the money?
