(I'm in NY.)
Hi,
I have a pretty similar problem as some here: I'm leaving my company early and therefore have to pay back the sign-on bonus.
The problem now is, that it was already taxed in 2009 and I also got the tax reimbursements for last year as well.
To make it more clear here an example:
Pretax Bonus = 3000
Post-tax Bonus = 2000
Got back some of the 1000 through the tax reimbursement, but given that I also had other income it is kind of hard to distinguish between which part of the tax reimbursement was for which part of the income.
Anybody any ideas what the rules are in this case? Is it still possible to deduct something from the W-2, given that it was already taxed last year?
Please let me know.
