Received 2016 W2 from a company I quit mid 2015 Hello -
I quit my job with a company in May 2015. I was not on their payroll since then.
Recently I received a W2 from this company for 2016 for around $3k. I neither worked for them in 2016 nor did I receive any payment from them.
It has been hard to get them to explain this. There is no phone number where I can reach them and after several email follow ups I received the following response-
"The W2 has been generated for gross wages processed towards imputed income on 12/31/2016, please refer the paystub and let us know incase of any clarification. Imputed income Health is the taxable benefit for domestic partner insurance coverage. The amount is added to earnings, taxes are calculated on total earnings, then the same imputed income amount is deducted because we do not want to ?pay? the associate, only calculate and deduct taxes. "
However I don't understand what this means. I have no payment and pay stub from this company in 2016.
Do I still need to report this income in 2017? The interesting thing is taxes withheld are 0 so it is significantly affecting my return. |
