I vote for Line 7 (with an explanation). But I don't know
that there is any hard and fast rule. You just don't want
it to go below the AGI line.

Report your correct wages on line 7. If that doesn't match
the total of box 1 of your W-2's, attach an explanation.

But do you deduct the amounts you did not receive on line
7 (with an explanation), or elsewhere on the 1040?

Not unless they gave you a W-2 showing that they paid you
amounts that you did not actually receive. Then you would
report the income and deduct the amount that was not paid.

There is no deduction for unpaid wages that were not
reported as income.

Unless you're an accrual-basis taxpayer, there's no
deduction. You didn't pay tax on it.

No. Someone else raised this same question regarding 2003,
I think. They were advised it was not a tax issue, but they
might have a cause of action, if the company is still in
business (and has any assets). For which, you should
consult an attorney.

I believe they were further advised that they could report
the offending company to their state wage and hour
enforcement division, as well as to the IRS -- presuming
some "phantom taxes" were withheld from the "phantom
income."

Like most employees,I assume that you use the cash method
Therefore, your wages are repoted when actually or
constructively received. Therefore, your have no income and
no deduction.

By not getting paid, you have no taxable wages. That is how
it is written off, you have nothing to claim.

Default Did not get paid for work performed

In early 2002 I worked as a full time employee and did not
get paid for several months. I ultimatly left the company
and never got paid for my services. Is there any way to
take this as some kind of deduction on my tax return?
