    Further, if you choose to FIGHT the company;s assessment of the 2007 taxes, they probably will find a reason to terminate you from your current work position, so you have to decide if this is worth losing your job over.

    One clarification: So since my employer brought this issue up in Dec-08 and changed my paycheck in Jan-09, you think they can ask for the '08 amounts? Even though I ohnly heard about the back taxes I owe via email on Feb 2 and still haven't received an official statement from the company?

    Thanks...

    Yes, that is exactly what I think. No official statement is required.
