Glad I found this post.
I have a client that received a W2 for their normal wages AND a 1099NEC for the sign-on bonus.
sing-on bonus for 7500 was issues for 2022, he left dec 2022 and was required to pay back. Unsure how to approach this and don't want my client footing the tax bill for money he didn't get to keep.
>There is a way to fix this on your tax return but it may result in the company being investigated by the IRS for improperly reporting employee taxes.
Could you provide more details on this point? This company is known for being shady in their industry and if they were to get investigated, my client would be okay with that.
