I am in California. I am a background actor, so I get a check for every day of my work not a weekly or bi-weekly check. My payroll company issued me two checks $100 each gross for the same two work dates twice. Not duplicates but different checks with check numbers that are different from the original ones. I never received those two checks but in my payroll online account it shows those checks and that taxes were withheld from them. I called the office and asked them about the checks. They told me that they were mailed out and I should file a reissue form if I didn’t receive them. But I got paid for those days already, so I decided not to ask for reissue because it was clearly a mistake on their part. Later, I looked at my more recent checks year-to-date gross income and tax deductions and it shows that the money from those two erroneous checks were included in my income and taxes.My biggest concert is if those 2 checks were never actually issued and mailed out to me but it shows that taxes were withheld, am I going to have any problems with the IRS if I file with the W2 that is going to include the income and taxes from those two checks that I never received and possibly were never issued, therefore no taxes were actually withheld from them? Should I do anything about it? (it shows taxes withheld from each check: Fed -$10.35, FICA-SSA - $6.20, FICA-MED - $1.45, CA SDI - $1.20, CA ST - $4.45)
