My former employer withheld money for my taxes on my paychecks but never paid the IRS. How do I get my money back that he withheld?
This happened to me once, years before I ever started working for the IRS. If you received a W2, there's no problem. Simply file your tax return as normal and let the IRS worry about their end of it. You'll still get your refund and/or credit for the taxes paid as if your employer had actually sent them in, even if he's behind in his tax payments.If you didn't receive a W2, I hope you've saved pay check stubs where the employer indicated taxes withheld. If so, you can photocopy all of those pay checks and send them in with your return. It might take a little longer to get your refund and credit for the taxes paid, but you'll get it eventually. If you don't have any proof, your employer still has committed tax fraud. He's broken the law by not filing 941s (or other return designed to report and submit withheld taxes and the employer portion of those taxes), he's broken the law by not submitting the payments, and he's broken the law by not giving you a W2. Contact the IRS. You can start with the customer service number, but eventually, you'll probably have to talk to an individual at the IRS who specializes in tax fraud issues.
How do I pay TDS individually if not deducted by an employer?
Hello, Thanks for tha A2A.First of all you would be liable to pay tax only if your total income for the period April-17 to March-18 exceeds Rs. 2.5 lakhs. In such a case the first thing you should do is to ask your new employer to start deducting TDS on your salary.Secondly, if for any reason your deducted TDS falls lesser than the Income tax actually payable, then you need to deposit the deficit tax amount upto 31st March-18 or before 31st July along with applicable interest via your Net Banking portal or through challan deposit in a Nationalized Bank.The Tax rates are as follows: (Applicable for FY 2017–18)Income up to Rs.2.5 lakhs :- NilIncome between Rs.2.5 lakhs and Rs.5 lakhs :- 5% of amount exceeding Rs.2.5 lakhsIncome between Rs.5 lakhs to Rs.10 lakhs :- 20% of amount exceeding Rs.5 lakhsIncome above Rs.10 lakhs :- 30% of amount exceeding Rs.10 lakhsAlso, if your total income is less than Rs.5 lakhs, you will get a deduction of Income Tax upto Rs.2500/- (Rebate u/s 87A).
How can I garnish money owed to me from someone’s employment paychecks after they promised to pay me back?
You need to see a lawyer as the laws in each state can differ, especially in regards to amounts that cannot be garnished since unions have been able to get laws passed protecting more of the employees wages. The amount of wages subject to garnishment is the amount owed by the employer to the employee at the time of service. So if you are the employer receiving a garnishment it is imperative that you record the date and time the garnishment was served on you so that your accounting department can respond in an accurate and timely manner, thus limiting the employer’s liability. Once the wages have been garnished it means the calculated amount is being held by the employer. The employer then has a certain amount of time in which they must disclose what is being held or why nothing was withheld. The employer can offset the amount garnished by any amount owed by the employee to the employer. Some employers get cute with this and say the total amount owed the employer is greater than the amount requested to be garnished. However, the law states that the employer must then take that money and apply it against the amount owed the employer. If the employer does not disclose the amount garnished within the time required, the employer could be liable for the total debt. The garnished amount will only be paid out by a court order. I’ve seen a case where they were never paid out as the employee kept moving from job to job and never attempted to settle with his creditor and thus the amounts were never released. You have another problem and that is in proving that the employee owes you any money in order to get the court to order payment. Unless the other party confesses judgement, agrees that he owes the money or you have a signed note, you will probably get no where as he can say it was a gift. “Always have your ducks in a row” before proceeding. An interesting side note is that at one time in the State of Wisconsin one could garnish a commercial bank account without a judgement. Bringing a debtor to their knees when I garnished the debtor’s bank account which at the time held the total of their payroll waiting to be paid out was one of my most satisfying and successful moves. The debtor immediately paid up after refusing to pay for over a year.

Turbo tax says I owe money! please help?
I am a 20 year old NY resident and full time student. I have been working two jobs for over 2 years. In 2013 I made a little less than 10000. This is my first year filing my taxes and I was told to use turbo tax. My mom always hires an accountant but I figured since its just w2's and I claim 0 I could do it myself and not have her charged. After I filed them, It said I owe 300 dollars in Federal Taxes and 250 in state, I thought this actually meant what was due to me so I went through with filing it and even paid the 15 dollars to file my state taxes. Then after paying I get to the last step and it tells me I owe close to 600 dollars and apparently get no refund? I dont understand, will someone please explain.
I recently quite my last job on 1-15-07. My former employee mailed me my check stamped void. Is this legal?
Consult with a lawyer...your boss broke the law. You cannot with hold pay from a former employee. I would also contact your hr department and let them know you intend to sue....I bet that will take care of that situation. Even if you don't intend to sue threatening them might get them to pay you so they can avoid the suit. Ps even if you owed the employer money when you quit they could not deduct it from your last paycheck...they would have to sue you for it.
How do I know if the employer turned tax money withheld actually paid in my tax money? I did not receive a w2 and he says I am not getting one. I believe he pocketed my money.
If you are an employee and you’ve been getting paychecks then your employer is required to issue you a W2.If you are a contractor and not an employee, you are not having any taxes withheld and must receive a 1099-MISC instead if you have earned more than $600.Otherwise, if your paychecks indicate that money is being withheld for taxes and your employer is refusing to give you a W2, that’s a pretty good sign that something is amiss and you can start here:How Do You Report Suspected Tax Fraud Activity?The top form, 3949-A (specifically, ‘False Deductions’ and ‘Failure to Withhold Tax’.Chances are, if your employer is not actually filing employment taxes with the Federal government, they are not even reporting that you are employed and counting on you just not reporting the income. This is a terrible idea all around, particularly today where it’s pretty easy for the IRS to find this stuff.If you’ve just been paid via regular checks rather than paychecks (with a breakdown of your tax withholding) then you may be being paid as a contractor. This could be legitimate or not but it is a different question and depends on the type of work you’ve been doing and also what was agreed up front, since some jobs can be either employees or contractors.
If my boss owes me money and won't pay me what can I do about it?
1. Write a short polite email to your boss reminding him/her of the amount your boss owes you, and setting a date you want to be paid.2. If your boss ignores that email send a clear letter by registered mail. Detail the days you worked, maybe include your hours, or if you are contract, include the name of the job you completed. State the amount you expect to be paid. State that it is overdue and you expect to be paid immediately. Date the letter, sign it. Copy it. Mail it by registered mail, return receipt requested.3. If he ignores that letter, go down to your local courthouse with that letter and your return receipt from the post office. Ask for small claims court. They will give you a firm to fill out, describing why you believe you are owed money, and how much. Fill it out, pay the small claims fee, include your letter, keep a copy for yourself. On the scheduled date be ready to tell the judge why your boss owes you money.4. If you win, you will receive a judgment against your boss. Then you have to find something your boss owns that can be seized or have a lien placed on to, usually a checking account. Ask the Sheriff to put a lien on his checking account. You will need to know his checking account number.
Are medical coverage deductions taken before or after taxes?
Can be done either way, pre-tax, or after-tax. Almost always it's better to have it taken out pre-tax. If it's pre-tax, it is generally referred to as a cafeteria plan. The health insurance is taken out of your paycheck on a pre-tax basis, and is treated for you tax-wise as if you never earned that money, but because it is taken out on a pre-tax basis you also can't claim the health insurance as a medical expense on Schedule A - Itemized Deductions - Medical & Dental.
