<prompt> Human: I work a minimum wage job and I had not really thought about it but my paychecks show my middle name where my last name should be. Will this effect my tax return when I get back my income tax? Also, if I have my boss change it now could it cause any problems? Thanks!  <response>: Tax returns are typically filed against your SSN or Tax ID. The system is well aware of the screw-ups that would occur if it relied on names alone, so its designed around identifiable tax IDs for this reason. The worst that would likely happen is that an alternate name shows up on your credit report or some employment verification service.TLDR: NO!
