<prompt> Human: Moved to a new job. I was supposed to be paid from the beginning, but the payroll department messed up and I wasnt paid for the first 4 months. Eventually, I was sent a paycheck for the entirety of the 4 months today January 19, 2017, but I was taxed in a higher bracket because lump sum was so large. I understand that I can recover that in next years tax return, but now, for 2017, Ill be paid 16 124 months of salary, so now Ill still be in a higher tax bracket.Essentially, my question is: is there any way to recover the money I lost through being placed in these incorrect tax brackets?  <response>: They really hosed you, and Im not aware of anything you can do to make it right. After week 3 of no pay I think Id be saying either pay me or I walk. Thats absolutely inexcusable.
