Thank you for you response! I wouldn’t want to make things more complex and potentially have the payroll make more mistakes if I was to try to fix it. I don’t mind paying taxes on those $200 which I never received. So, if I was to not do anything about it and leave it as it is( let’s say, the payroll will mail me a W2 including the income and taxes withheld from those two checks). Should there be any problems if I just file taxes with that W2? If for some reason the checks were never issued therefore no taxes were actually withheld from them and paid to the IRS but the W2 shows those taxes as withheld ( state, fica, and probably the employer’s portion of FICA) what would happen in that case? Will the IRS send me a letter later?
