After receiving my tax rebate my employer informed me they made a mistake on my W-2 by omitting the 6 weeks I was diabled last year and handed me an "updated" W-2. When I was ammending my taxes ALL the numbers were different! My wages were $4,200 more than the first W-2 and the witholdings were all different as well. They offered me no explaination only that their accountant made a mistake and would get back to them that day. Well that was over a week ago and everyone is avoiding me. What can I do legally, if anything? Couldn't they be penalized in some way for their mistake? Shouldn't they have to pay my fee's to the IRS? This isn't my fault. I thought the money I received was my money and I spent most if it already. Thank you for any feedback. P.S. I am 1 of 2 employees they did this to. The other was on disability also.:(

NO, they do not have to do anything but give you a corrected W2. Did you not check it against your last paycheck.
And YOU did recieve the money. You are requried to do a correction on your filing and work out a payment plan to repay money you were over paid by the IRS.

So sorry but this will be your responsiblity.
