How do I answer the W-2 question "Did the W-2 involve an intent to earn money"?

[john89p]

The W-2 was provided by a sales person who returned commissions they should not have charged.

You should answer no to the question "Did the W-2 involve an intent to earn money?" There was not an intent to earn money, just a return of what should not have been charged.

Did you really get a W2 or was it maybe a 1099Misc?

[fanfare]

for a refund of your own money you should not get a W-2 nor a 1099-MISC.

Ask the person for a corrected W-2 showing zero.

[fanfare]

if you are already deducting the commissions incorrectly charged, then,

Never mind.

It cancels out.
