<prompt> Human: I am working for a small start up company, and my supervisor just stated that they will be washing over taxes and starting the new year fresh. What does that mean in terms of the wages I earned in 2016 and taxes I have to pay?  <response>: That is not a technical or otherwise commonly-used term. You should ask your supervisor what they mean. You should have gotten a w-2 reporting your 2016 wages over a month ago and unless they incorrectly reported the earnings you received in 2016, that should be that.
