    Federal Taxes paid in
    How can I find out if my previous employer has paid any of the taxes they took out of my checks?

    Thanks!
    Just curious

    For 2007, you CANNOT check it. The IRS does not tag the taxes paid by the employer to the individual taxpayer until the Form W-2 is sent to them.

    To be safe, you should retain a copy of your check stubs that show how much was withheld from your paycheck until you get the W-2 in late January/early February 2008.

    I use to be that employer who had trouble paying the taxes for our employee and so I asked this question. It does not fall on you for the taxes not being paid by the employer. It is their responsibility and the IRS will ask for payment, penalties & interest does get added. You already paid it when it was removed from your pay.
    My employee was able to file her taxes and was given a refund for the last two years without any problems. We had to pay the IRS and then everything was OK.
    Keeping your records is a good idea.

    What makes you think they haven't? Your pay stubs and W2 are your proof that the money was paid. If it wasn't that's between the IRS and your employer, you aren't involved.
