<prompt> Human: UPDATE : The University agreed to deduct the overpaid amount 750 from my next paycheck before taxes. This would simply balance out my taxes issue and I wont be losing any money as well as I wont have to amend my tax filing.In Aug 2016, the university I work at changed my working hours from 20 to 40 per week. I was making 7502 weeks before taxes and it was being changed to 15002 weeks. The first check after the change was for 2250I got 1,849.97 in error and it should have been 1500. They dint notice it and I dint notice it until I was asked to return it. Now they are asking to return the whole 750 where as I only received extra 561.29.Here is what they sent me in the email.Description Amount Paid AMOUNT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID AMOUNT OVERPAID------------TOTAL GROSS PAY 2,250.00 1,500.00 750.00 Federal Tax 339.28 170.82 168.46State Tax 60.75 40.50 20.25 TOTAL DEDUCTIONS 400.03 211.32 188.71 NET PAY 1,849.97 1,288.68 561.29 Amount due in 2017 750.00Overpayments that cross calendar years are owed as net amount plus federal and state tax withholdings.To me, it doesnt make sense that they paid me 561.29 and are asking back for 750. Are they right in asking 750 back instead of what I actually got paid? If I am required to pay them 750, then how will I get 188.71 back which they paid as taxes for me?  <response>: Are they right in asking 750 back instead of what I actually got paid?Yes.If I am required to pay them 750, then how will I get 188.71 back which they paid as taxes for me?Youll claim it on your tax return.
