Does a refund get added to your w2 wages?

Does a refund get added to my w2 wages?  It's not a tax refund.

[JoannaB2]

It depends.  If the refund was a reimbursement from an accountable plan such as incurring deductible expenses while performing as an employee, reimbursements are not wages and not taxable.

It is for one month's rent I got back.

for one month's rent

[nomad19088]

Does this count as wages?

[TomD8]

No, a refund of rent you previously paid does NOT count as wages.

[nomad19088]

What about overdraft fee reimbursement from a slingtv subscription? Thank you.

[TomD8]

Same answer.
