I received a sign-on bonus of $10,000 this year that I repaid this year (2024). I'm not sure why, but they only asked me to repay around $6,000 of it.
They received my sign-on bonus. I checked my paystub today, and there are negative amounts for this period's pay for the following items:
Federal Withholding Tax
Federal EE Social Security
Federal EE Medicare Tax
State Withholding Tax
Since I only returned a portion of the $10,000 to them, I assumed the portion I didn't return was paid to the IRS. Is this the normal thing to happen for sign-on-bonus repayments for the same tax year?
