Actually I was wondering, is an employer required by law to provide a corrected w2 showing the sign on bonus repayment from the employee? Thank you!!
Your W-2 must show what you were actually paid in salary and benefits. If you give them enough notice, and they are willing to reduce your salary on your last few paychecks to repay the bonus, then your W-2 would show what you were actually paid and that's the end of it. You and the employer are even and both 2019 and 2020 W-2s show what you were actually paid.
If you don't give notice or they don't want to process a salary reduction, and you pay them back after you have left the company, they could possibly still net out the W-2 but it is more paperwork for them or their payroll company and it probably won't happen.
