Is there a way to get a paycheck deducted from my income for the year? I received a coworkers paycheck one pay period so I sent her the paycheck via Cashapp.

I owe taxes so I’m trying to catch any break possible.

If the paycheck was in your name and was included on your form W-2, you cannot deduct it from your income.

That is a conversation you need to have with the employer. Get them to sort out why you received someone else's check and issue a corrected W-2 for you. No---there is not a way for you to just enter something about that on your tax return.
