Received signing bonus in 2018, returned it in 2019. How to handle for 2019 taxes?
Hello,
I received a 20k signing bonus (after taxes it came to ~13k) in August 2018. I ended up leaving the company in March 2019, and paying the full 20k back.
I asked the company to amend my 2018 W2 to take away the 20k from my earnings, but they claimed their policy is not to make any changes to W2s.
Does anyone know how I should handle this for my 2019 taxes?
I ended up paying ~7k out of pocket when returning the full signing bonus.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
