As a physician, I was terminated from my employer in November 2021. My accounts receivable (just about equal to my salary) was calculated in my 2021 W2 form, but I did not cash the check until 2022, due to an on-going legal issue regarding severance.
Is there a way for me to exclude that income from 2021 taxes and defer to 2022, since I did indeed not receive it as income in 2021?
