Hi,

I am on H1B visa and recently switched jobs. My former employer failed to run payroll for a period I worked for them. Perhaps, my former employer paid partial wages as cash and not reported on W2 Form. Now, how would I report this to IRS? Former employer declined to send me a corrected W2 and not interested in reporting to IRS regarding the cash paid to me.

Being on H1B, I am uncertain that how would I report the cash I received from my former employer. Since I already filed my 2009 tax returns with the W2 provided by them, would I be able to file an amendment for this income.

Please advice!

Regards,
CL

If you decide to report the extra income, the easiest way would be to report it as "OTHER INCOME" on Line#21 of Form 1040 when you amend the return, then attach a statement explaining what the other income is for.

Hi AtlantaTaxExpert,

How would I amend tax return? I filed form 1040EZ for 2009 returns.

I appreciate your feedback.

Submit Form 1040X with a Form 1040 and statement attached.
