<prompt> Human: Hi all,I got a new job at a local business a couple months ago, and my first two paychecks were handwritten until my boss could get me on payroll. Taxes were not taken out of these paychecks, so I was paid full hours.Im now on payroll, but my boss realized his mistake and now wants me to pay him the 200 extra he paid me that should have been taken out of my first two paychecks.This doesnt seem right to me, because thats money that should come back to me through tax refunds, and that he would have had to pay in taxes anyways?Not sure how to bring that up with him, because Im not sure he knows either.Any information would be helpful!  <response>: If in fact your boss is trying to complete his obligations for income tax and payroll tax withholding, it is legitimate.Ask him for an accounting of what he intends to correct.My quick take is that it is legit, but you never know.
