You can demand what you want, but don't have a heart attack
if you don't get it. Frankly, I don't see the point to a
corrected paystub. The big issue is your W-2.

When you get your W-2, check it carefully to make sure it's
right. If it's not, THAT's the document you want to get
corrected, and your payroll channels are the only way.

In a worst-case scenario, we'll fast forward to April 14,
and you haven't been able to get a corrected W-2. File your
return using the correct numbers and explain it to the IRS
in an attachment. The paystubs showing where the error
happened should be enough proof.

I worked for company "A". I participated in the companies
ESPP and came out with a 2,000.00 gain. Since the sale was
short term, I was taxed on my paycheck as ordinary income on
the entire 2,000.00. The company was sold. Payroll transfer
, etc. I get my final paystub and they added a new category
for this ESPP earnings. They added a total of 4,000.00 to my
total earnings instead of the 2,000.00 they should have. So
of course I called payroll. No answer yet. What happens in
this case?. there are no more checks for the year so I have
no way of knowing a correction was made unless I get a
corrected paystub. What are my rights?, is my company
liable?. If not corrected I would be paying tax on 2000.00 I
never earned. They errantly doubled the amount of my ESPP
earnings and added it to total earnings. Should I be doing
anything more than bothering the payroll dept? I think I
deserve a corrected paystub?, can I demand this?

Any thoughts appreciated -

thanks -
