paying back gross sign on bonus
so i quit my job at a bb and have to pay back the signing bonus. 

when i received the 10k sign on, i only ended up with $5,700 after tax.

they want me to pay the full 10k back to them. i filed my taxes and im getting back a total of 4k. 

how does this even make sense? if i pay them back the full 10k...i'm basically losing money. 

i only received 5,700 + 4,000 in total taxes (which means i get back none of the tax from my paychecks normally?) + another 300 out of pocket.
i read your comment in a smug french voice
you will receive a signing bonus. the signing bonus is typically separated into years 1 and 2. each year’s signing bonus will be split into equal installments and paid out monthly in your paycheck.

the signing bonus is intended to compensate the employee for the rsu vesting schedule (5/15/40/40). it is not typically a lump sum payment. technically, new mexico does not have a sales tax, though it does have a gross receipts tax which functions in much the same way. the gross receipts tax rate currently ranges from 5.125% to 8.6875% depending on where the business is located. well your probably not going to pick this as the best answer.

you'll be further ahead to just let them have your 2009 refund.

if you live in a state that taxes unemployment then file an amended state tax return. in iowa if you amend it; no penalty just interest. if iowa sends you the initial letter it has penalty and interest. my rule of thumb is ideally >20% (the higher the better), though there are exceptions if you're about to price yourself out of the market or there are other benefits to working at the new firm (e.g. employee benefits are better, the work is not fulfilling, better client alignment, etc). i wouldn't accept a pay cut, though. if you had to pay in money when you filed then they are going to charge you interest for being late.

they are probably conducting an internal audit of all of your past returns right now, that is why you haven't gotten the notice yet. if they determine that you did this intentionally, which is likely, they'll access a punitive fine on top of the interest they'll charge you.

otherwise they might just send a warning. although it is illegal to file late, if you didn't owe them money they probably won't make a big deal out of it. just the same, they are probably auditing all of your recent returns. that is still 135 more than i'd pay you. 1. the expected pay-out on each policy is 250 * 1/90 + 12000 * 1/100 + 17000 * 1/400 = $165.  so that's what the premium would have to be in order to get a profit of 0.
 
2. the profit per policy is the premium the company receives minus the expected payout = 350 - 165 = $185.
 
3. the expected profit on 375 policies would be 375 * 185 = $69375 it just means to treat something as an expense. for a very simple example, let's say your business made $1,000 in sales for the year. if your only expense for the year was $400 of supplies that you 'write-off' then your net profit is $600. sometimes people refer to a write-off when they are expensing something through their business that they actually bought for personal use, which is not allowed under irs regulations. it depends how much you would have to pay out on your current lease. remember our recruiters promising the same thing? don't count on 5x growth.
