*the government, not "your government"; we all bleed red, white, and blue here!
My bonus was $20k, I received $15k after taxes. If the government recoups, I'll have to pay back the full $20k. I understand that if I amend my tax return I'll get the $5k differential back, but how can I get an updated W2 (or W2c) to show the proper amount in box 1 for "wages, tips, and other compensation"? Usually the employer needs to create and submit the W2c; can I do it myself?
