I was given an $8,000 dollar sign-on bonus earlier this year. Now I am leaving and will have to repay it because of the contract. How do I handle the taxes?
Wages that are repaid are not taxable income for income tax or SSI purposes. The employer should issue a w2 that reduces income by the amount of the repayment.
