Hello,

I am a W2 employee but i just realized that my employer is recovering their portion of the FICA/SS/medicare from my paycheck before the gross amount is calculated. I have a monthly excel sheet showing my actual gross payout vs the "gross payout" listed on my w2. how do I handle this? I am effectively paying taxes like a self employed person or independant contractor but lose all the benefits becasue i am effectively W2. Is there some way around this? Can I use the emailed excel sheets as "offical tax documents" to back myself out of the W2 and claim some self employment tax deductions?

Thanks for the help!!!

Daniel
