Ok thank you. So the IRC 1341 claim of right credit can be used If my employer does not give me a corrected 2019 w2 or if they do not adjust my 2020 w2 to reflect the repayment (like by reducing my salary)?
Thank you!!
You won't get an adjusted 2019 W-2, put that out of your mind. The W-2 shows the wages you actually received in the 2019 calendar year and the repayment in 2020 doesn't change that.
If the employer won't agree to accept repayment by salary reduction in 2020, then you would use the claim of right procedure on your 2020 return to get those income taxes back.
