Tax Question W-2 Form Fraud?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Tax Question W-2 Form Fraud?

I (and others at the company) have a problem with our W-2's and management is being evasive.

For medicare tax, they are reporting several thousand (per person) less than what they are taking out of our paychecks.

Is this legal?

Of course not! It sounds like thievery. I'd push it.

That's a felony. And the IRS just loves to prosecute payroll tax fraud. They've recently created a whole new unit just to do that.

I've had many W-2's sent to me with mistakes. Usually you call the company and tell them and they get out a correct version a few days before the 15th

your last paystub of the calendar year should have the year to date totals, and they should match what is on the w-2.

IIRC, if you report a tax cheater, and the IRS collects, you get a percentage.
