Company F*cked Up My Taxes

My company incorrectly filed my W-4 and other filings, saying my income taxable but not withholding the state tax. Now I’m on the hook for the full tax amount of $10,000 AND a $400 penalty fee because my HR is a**. Venting now because my accountant is working to fix everything but HOW does this happen?!! #taxes #taxseason

How come you didn’t bother to look at any of your paystubs throughout the year and noticed the lack of state tax withholding? If you were a 16 year old learning how to read a paystub for the first time then I’d understand the oversight but I’m pretty sure you’re not.

Honestly had no reason to check my paystubs. The money hit my account and I was fine with that. Obviously learning my lesson moving forward but this is not common at all, especially with an IPO company.

1/ You can usually get fees waived but never interest. 2/ If you’re short they’ll setup payment plan. 3/ it’s same net amount for the year just lump sum
