But I already paid tax on the sign on bonus and post tax I got less than half of it. My salary and the sign on are entirely different things. I thought the whole point of reporting the sign on repayment on tax return is to recover the taxes I already paid for the sign on bonus. when I pay back the prorated sign on (the pre-tax amount prorated) after working for 12 months it would be a higher amount than what I had received post-tax (which is quite ridiculous). So I’d be paying back more than what I had received in total since they gave me the post-tax amount of the sign on.
