Retirement tax questions
The relocation package was reported as income on the W-2. The issue is that the relocation company paid the taxes for him. It is the second scenario described here:
"In order to offset the cost of income tax, some employers will either deduct the taxable portion of the funds given for relocation assistance in advance, or they will pay the on your behalf so you don’t have to. Always make sure to confirm with your employer so you know whether or not you’ll owe any money to the IRS come tax season. "
We know the relocation money was reported as income on his W2. We also know that the company/relocation company paid Federal, stae\te, OASDI, and medicare taxes on the relocation amount directly to those entities. The question is where do I report the taxes that were paid so we can offset the tax on the relocation package? Those amoutns are NOT on his W2. I have the numbers on a statement listed as tax assistance but no form number or direction of where to report what was paid for him by the relocation company.
