Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Q. Should not my employer reimburse me for the taxes I paid on the second W-2?

A. No.

Moving expenses are no longer deductible.  So, any reimbursement you get from your employer is additional taxable income to you.  Recognizing this, many employers also provide a Relocation Income Tax Allowance, on top of the reimbursement for actual moving expenses. But that allowance is also taxable income to you.  

 

If your employer miscalculated the amount of tax, then you may see  a refund when you file you tax return.
