Or does this just mean a bigger refund next year?EDIT : thanks for everything basically what Im hearing is this is normal, sorry about your luck now, but youll get it back on next years refund.How funny I have to pay taxes on money I got because my company got a tax break.  <response>: Withholding the amount they take out upfront and forward to the IRS is sometimes different, but taxation is exactly the same. In other words, if they took too much in withholding then you get it back on your tax return.
