My employer is withholding my corrected 2021 W2 until my overpayment balance is paid in full and informed me that it will take 4+ weeks to receive my W2 after I've paid. I will most likely miss the filing extension deadline. Is this legal for them to do? This issue stems from the Kronos hack and apparently terrible record-keeping by the company I work for. The hack occurred in December 2021 and I my company did not provide me with the correct amount owed until June, six months later. I am still waiting to hear back from HR and haven't begun the repayment process yet. I am unable to repay the amount in full and will need at least three months (ideally) to pay this back. I'm at a loss as to what to do and am tired of waiting idly for HR to respond to me.
