Reply to comment by FourWayFork in I received only $13k of $20k sign on bonus, now I have to pay back $20k. by Novaham

I think the point they are making is that the bonus was taxed - so they didn't receive $20k, but the after tax amount. However, HR doesn't care, they want the pre-tax amount, and you correct the taxes to show you didn't actually receive that income. Refunding the taxes paid on your behalf.

Okay, that makes sense then.

You basically have to take care of it when you file your taxes.
