@fieldcoil
it depends how your employer handled the mess, if they adjusted their taxes paid to the govt in 2023 or 2024.
If they adjusted payments to taxing authorities in 2023, they should have issued you a revised 2023 W-2 and you would need to prepare an amended tax return for 2023. They should also pay to do this return as it is their error.
If they did it in 2024, then Your employer should have issued your W-2 this year reflective of what you refunded them, which then would show reduced wages this year and less taxes paid as you are a cash basis taxpayer.
I'm so sorry this happened to you.
Good luck.
